hi, i have a 2004 XC90 and i have noticed the steering wheel has been loose over the past few days. I can now clearly wiggle the wheel about 10-15mm each way!
I am a mechanic myself so i think the problem is that the large nut that holds the wheel to the column has come loose.My only problem is i am not sure how to remove the airbag to get to the nut.I see there are two hole in the back of the steering wheel which must be where to unclip the airbag but does anyone know if its held on with screws or if its just a case of poking in a screw driver and popping the clips?
Thanks guys as i really need to get this fixed asap!
