[Chrysler300] Strange Steering Problem

["Donald Nissen" <fast-ace@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone know what's wrong here? Car: 300K Cvt with power steering. If I pull straight back on my steering wheel, I have about 3/4 inch free play, as though the wheel was going to come off in my hand. The nut holding the wheel on is tight, and the entire steering shaft moves with the wheel. Steering action is fine. My concern is where is this play coming from? The shop manual shows a complicated connector between the steering shaft and the power steering gearbox. Could this connection come loose leaving me with NO steering?
This is standard  power steer-not adjustable (tilt) wheel. Any help greatly appreciated.
