Any new developments in the “loose steering” saga?

[Space ace]

So I’ve been away on business for some time and haven’t been on here..
has there been any permanent fix to the steering issues, the looseness or 1-2” play in the steering wheel?
Drove mine the other day and was reminded how much I hate it.. lol..
and yes, I could spend hours searching through the long posts I’ve missed but I’m lazy, sue me..
thanks in advance

I think here is a good summary of someone who has gotten their steering issue fixed: (if you don't want to flip through over 200 pages over at the main thread)

Read post 3119 page 208 Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts. There is a new Star online bulletin S1819000003 dated 2/26/19 that sounds promising.
