Are you talking about the steering wheel itself or the whole tilt column? If it is the whole column, then there are two bolts under the dash that hold the column in place. I have had those left loose after "mechanics" worked on my truck.

If the steering wheel itself is loose, I am not sure. It really should not come loose because it is in place under a nut and the pressure of a metal plate, so I am no help there.
