Do no accept ANY slop in the linkage of your steering. Do what ever is necessary to correct it, you could lose control of your car. About 3 years ago an individual who was a frequent visitor of this site had a similar situation happen to his car. Fortunately he was driving at low speed in a parking lot when the set screw (on his application) fell out allowing the connecting U joint to fall off the shaft and he lost control of his steering. You don't want THIS to happen at speed.
