And finally, I did go inside the column and replace the two bearings. Not nearly as fun but and "maybe" made the steering better. That's a little harder to tell though.
I have a steering column guy we been using for years so I had him rebuild mine and the horn keeps beeping now, but it only seems to do it when I am in a parking lot and people are there thinking I am beeping at them! lol. I pulled the fuse and was thinking maybe replace the steering wheel and the collar. in the meantime I just rev the engine when someone is in front of me that needs to move!
