Re: steering column repair
Just a quick thought, there are two bolts that hold the steering column to the dash framing. My bolts got loose a couple of times and the whole column moved. This usually happened after ASE "mechanics" worked on it

Re: steering column repair
I was doing some surf'n around while back and found this "How Too" with pics on tightening loose tilts from Captkaos.....
http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/sm...?topic=12525.0 Some chain auto parts stores have the puller/lock-ring plate and bearing tools in their "Rent-a-Tool" program. Good Link Now ^^^^^^^

Re: steering column repair
Take the column apart. Pull the steering wheel then the lock plate. remove the turn signal stuff and go until you find 4 bolts that hold the clamps on the universal joint inside the column that lets it tilt. Pull each bolt one by one add some lock tite and reinstall. Put the column back together and the slop will be gone.
