Section 11-00: Steering System, Service | 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco and F-Super Duty Workshop Manual |
When checking steering wheel (3600) free play, also check for radial play or wobble between the steering wheel and steering column shaft. Any free play detected reflects wear in the steering column bearing (3517) and can add to apparent free play. Refer to Section 11-04 for steering column tube service procedures.
