Don't let the wheel slam up when releasing the lever as this loosens the mechanism. The knuckle the wheel pivots on is worn out.

Why wont your front tires turn when you turn the steering wheel?

This could be a number of items wrong. Typically, the steering column bolts break. There is a "knuckle" at the end, you should be able to look under the hood and see where it connects to. Or, your steering wheel could be loose. Either way, DO NOT DRIVE, until you have it figured out.

How do you get rid of too much play in steering on a 1992 Camaro and would it be possible to change with that of a 1987 Camaro?

too much play in the steering wheel is from worn or damaged steering components. The things that could be wrong are this: worn or damaged upper/lower ball joints, worn or damaged power steering pump, Loose, worn, damaged, or faulty power steering control valve, Loose or worn power steering cylinder, Leaking, clogged or incorrectly installed power steering hose, Leaking, worn or damaged rack & pinion steering assembly, Loose, worn, or incorrectly adjusted steering gear or steering gear mounting bolts, Loose, worn or incorrectly adjusted tie rod end(s), Loose, worn, damaged, or improperly aligned centerlink or other steering component(s), Worn, damaged, seized or faulty kingbolt(kingpin), or a Worn pitman arm or other front end part(s). The most likely cause of the play in the wheel is the ball joints, the tie rod ends, or the pitman arm. Since the 92 and the 87 model are both 3rd gen, they MIGHT swap, but if both cars are that old, your best bet would be to just replace the old worn parts with new ones.
