Default s2000 steering wheel in 5th gen//loose?

i've had my s2000 steering wheel on my 2000 prelude for some time. Just recently it feels like it's very loose and shaky. (not brakes) Even at a complete stop, if you turn the wheel left and right, theres very little resistance and it just seems to wobble. what can the problem be?

you check to make sure the nut is tight? After that I'd check for slop in the column

You got to remove the airbag first. Then there is one large nut that holds the wheel to the steering wheel shaft.

had my steering rack and pinion checked, they're tight. i guess that leaves me with the bolt behind the airbag. gonna have this done soon. is there any fear of the wheel coming off?

There is no way in hell I would drive a car with a "loose" steering wheel. lol You realize if it is loose for some reason the steering could fail immediately.
