Been having this issue since I bought my TC over a year ago, never really thought much about it until now. It's winter, and I don't want this to be something that kills me or leaves me stranded in the cold...

My steering wheel whobbles in every direction (up.down.left.right). It works perfectly fine, there is no play in the actual steering, just in the wheel itself when you press on it.

Anyone else have this problem, common fix?
xcheck to see if the tilt bolts are loose. i f I remember correctly they are 13mm, if you pull the covers off you should be able to see it clearly what is loose.
As Hcor said,pull the steering column covers, and I think you have to remove the signal stalk as well and behind that,there are,as Hcor stated,two bolts that need some Loctite and tightening.
Without doubt that's it. Mine did the same until I went under the covers and tightened those two fasteners and then it was solid. Like said you have to remove the switch assembly on the left side.
Yep, mine used to be loose too. It seems like the bolts were torx heads? It's been a few years, and I'm not sure why I think that, it just seems right. Tightened my steering wheel right up with those little bolts. Go for it!!
I also seem to remember they are Torx bolts.
Seems like we all had the loose steering wheel issue at one time or another. Definitely use Lock-tite on the screws...
Mine were not Torx. I THINK they were 13mm.
