Hi
Can anyone help with this mystery? Last time I drove my car all was well but now I have a wobbly steering wheel?
Hope my little video helps

I don't know much about thirdgens but this happened on my focus and it was the lever for the adjustable column which had come loose and needed pushing back in.
