Hello! I'm new here with the group and recently purchased my first Tacoma a 2023 SR5 with 37500 miles, from a local Toyota dealership. Mainly because I've always heard Toyotas are so reliable! Well I've a had a few issues I bought it and of course right after the warranty expired I have a major one. My mechanic said the is play in the steering column and some in the center of the Rag Joint. Has anyone had this problem? I could use any help, thank you!

Have your mechanic check this clip. It popped loose on mine.
