Default Steering loose

So I noticed I had some sloppy steering on my 07. I could move the bars slightly from side to side and the tires would stay still. Firt thought was tie-rods. Read somewhere on here about the steering shaft nut. Come to find a at the end of this shaft is a cassel nut and retainer pin. Let me tell ya if the pin wasnt there either would the nut be. Extreemly loose. Tighened er back up, and ready to rock.

Just an FYI.

I also put lock tight and a lock washer on mine the last time to seal the deal. I found it came loose again after simply tightening it.
