Alignment issues
I just had my car aligned today and it drives straight now, but there's still about 1"-1.5" of play in my steering wheel. I can rock the steering shaft back and forth by hand, so my question is, how do I get rid of the slop?

It only had this play in the wheel after it was aligned?? So it was fine before the alignment??

you guys didn't look hard enough at his statement.
try tightening the two bolts that hold the steering shaft to the rack and up near where it goes into the firewall. second thing to do is turn the big adjusting nut on the rack to tighten it up. in this pic you'll see it on the right side shiny.

so, you replaced the rack? if so, then really check the bolt that holds the shaft to the rack. i thought i had mine tight enough at first. had hte slop and went back and tightened it more.
no, that was lack of oil. here's the whole video

And damn, that was pretty crazy!!! I'm guessing the track officials were pretty pissed I'm guessing the wife isn't very happy you let her oil get so low!?
