Lay on your back in the footwell and have an assistant move the steering. You can see the column UJ so should see movement if it's that. Otherwise get under the car and call back your assistant and see if the UJ which joins to the rack is moving.

    Tightening the wheel nut, that's worrying. It's not the sort of thing you want coming off in your hands! Laugh

    Exactly! Imagine trying to line the splines up to push it back on before the next corner!
