When I started driving my 31 A about two months ago the steering wheel had NO play, none, if you turned it a fraction of an inch the front wheels moved. Now I have about 3/4ths of an inch play, that is I can turn the steering wheel that far without the front wheels turning.

The car is tucked into one side of the garage and I have do to a LOT of turning the wheels back and forth without the car moving, this is not easy but could it have damaged or pushed something out of adjustment??

The car still drives excellent but I have noticed a slight loose feeling in the steering on occasion.

Any ideas? I have only driven the car about 400 miles or so since the spring so I dont think I wore anything out.
