im sure others have experienced this problem. the steering wheel feels real lose, like the rubber has been damaged by the sun? basically you can twist the rubber around the actual wheel, kind of like a motorcycle throttle? this happened to our 2000 prerunner, luckily it was under waranty and was replace free of charge. now we just got a 1998 tacoma pickup and it has the same problem, pretty anoying if you ask me. i like to grip the wheel and have it solid. anyways my point is you think they would replace this even though its not under warranty? if not i may have to pay for it? any thoughts!
