hello and greetings from north America (the Cnadian side)...

I feel like my steering is loose. i can feel a click occassionally when dry turning, or hitting a bump at an angle at low speeds (like turning into a driveway or the likes). it basically just feels like my steering wheel requires more turn in order for the wheels to change direction. is there any way to adjust the steering wheel radius?

pretty vague i know, anyone experienced anything similar?

Hi you must be cold over there @ the mo Brrrrrrr

Check the flexi coupling in the steering shaft, they can split and cause exactly as you've described.

engine bay, under brake servo assy .
