Tilt Column Rebuild

I have never had a newer tilt steering apart yet. The pins I guess are wore out, it is pretty loose. It is on my 85, and wondered if anyone can give me some tips before I get into it.

Re: Tilt Column Rebuild

I am betting that the pins are fine. the bolts that are at he knuckle assembly are loose and the column will have to stripped down to the point, where you can pull the bolts and coat them with "Lock-Tite" and reset them.
