How much steering play?

Hey all,

Just curious how much steering play is normal and how much is not. My 72 seems fine but it seems slightly loose. I know some is normal but just wondering if any of you have any insight on what I should be looking out for. Or if there are any hard fast numbers on the subject.

Thanks!!

Check the rag joint (just under your alternator). Many times the fiber is torn and steering is extending to the metal stops. A new rag joint (or steering coupler) can be ordered from your Chevy dealer and can be installed with simple tools.
