Steering Loose! HELP!

[Homeboy981]

Just an update:
PROBLEM SOLVED! It was VERY EASY. The steering wheel nut had come loose. Tightened back to spec and will keep an eye on it. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially the person who told me about the airbag warning light. That was certainly not anything I would have thought about., And had it not been for this forum...I would have been robbed! Maybe not of money, although that could easily be the case being a newbie to the Boxster-not a newbie to motorsports, but of time to get to spend on something I enjoy doing - however poorly I am equipped with knowledge of the vehicle. I now know where to find the answers for many more projects.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP!

P.S. Already changed the cabin air filter, engine air filter and about to do the oil & filter. Will cut open the oil filter and see if there are bits. Have got jack stands and CV boots on order too.

Homeboy,

Wow, if the steering wheel moved up +/- one 1" because the nut was loose...!

This means that you could (literally) ended up with the steering wheel on your hand, or much worse (on your neck)...

Thanks God nothing bad happen

I was thinking the same thing. Did someone work on the wheel and forget to tighten the nut ?
