Hi guys, finally got new lock cylinder in but thought I should try and fix the sloppy steering wheel. Anyone know how? What I mean is when you grab the wheel the wheel and upper colum have a fair amount of slack.(movement in all directions) Is there a fix for this?
Thanks,

Take off the steering wheel column cover.
Next, take off the blinker housing, under the blinker housing there are 2 bolts 1 on top and 1 on bottom(you will see which ones just shake the steering wheel and that will help) tighten them down and its all fixed!!

If you still have some play after that, you will have to replace the bearings in the tilt mechanism. It looks intimidating, but it's pretty easy to take apart.
