More often than not that problem is because of a bad steering mast bearing or the wire that is connected to it. https://www.chevsofthe40s.com/shop/...p;searchtype=FT&method=KeywordSearch Good luck Russell #38868 '48 4 door Fleetline

It is threaded to move it closer or further away from the steering mast bearing contact surface mentioned above. It will be necessary to loosen the clamping screw on the chrome horn ring before the cone will turn.
