I just installed a ctr steering wheel on my em1. It seems as though there is a little bit of play in the wheel. Meaning that when I move the wheel it feels like it slips a little. Anyone have this problem and is it normal?

 

This is not normal.

Did you apply thread locker and retorque the 19mm nut back down to 36 lb/ft?

 

no and no, I tightened it down tight but did not torque it. Its not a lot of play but it just doesnt feel right. Plus there are teeth on the shaft that the wheel slides onto nad thats why i dont understand how it moves?

The spindles do interlock, but they're rather shallow and mainly just used as a guide point.

 

ok ill try torqueing it then, hopefully that solves it thanks
