That's a different style than mine (car#887).

What is the car number?

FWIW I took a photo of my upper ujoint and added it to my gallery. It is different than yours.

My joint is solid. No play at all in the joint itself. A couple of years ago the lock bolt loosened slightly - there was a definate change in the steering that wasn't hard to correct.

Jim,
Yours is the same as mine. A VW part I believe. His may be the newer style, all aluminum. A place called Flaming River (www.flamingriver.com) has a nice selection of pieces and parts. I may re-do mine over the winter...

Cobras:
I'd look for something loose. Your car is too new to have wear in the steering system...Lift the hood and wiggle the steering wheel...you should be able to see the upper universal move. Check the bolts on the lower end of the steering shaft near the steering rack on the chassis....

Tough call, maybe if you were the first owner...And then thru the dealership where it was originally purchased...I myself think you out of luck on this one...There's an 18xx car for sale on ebay with 17 miles on it. It's probably 5 years old...
BTW: did you still want that wiring diagram?

Did you buy the car new or used? If used, the warranty doesn't transfer to a second owner. That being said, it's a safety issue so your local SPF dealer should jump in and help you resolve the problem.
