Stearing wheel bearing and horn going off when turning wheel

[peter at thescirocco.com (peter)]

If it's a high mileage car, the copper horn contact could be worn through,
and grounding itself.

   The horn contacts sweep a large copper plate on the steering column. 
In mine, the screws holding that plate became loose and would 
occasionnaly short the contacts.
   You should ba able to check by looking between the steering wheel and 
the column.

there is this pesky one that I like some help with. Sometimes while turning
my stirring wheel my horn will go off. I have noticed that there is some up
and down play on the wheel.

IS that a stearing wheel bearing issue that is some how grounding my horn?
Is one thing related to the other?
