The tilt colum in my Z28 is really loose you can move it up and down alot and side to side alittle is there anyway I can tighten it or do I have to put a new steering colum in??

 

If it is the tilt mechanism that is loose, it might be able to be repaired, but you will have to tear way into the column to do it.

 

Here are instructions to fix it.

I had to fix mine last year. I took it out of the car to do it, trying to do it in the car proved to be to much of a PITA. My pivot pins were actually lose, not the 4 main bolts. You are in for a treat.... That steering column is a 3D jigsaw puzzle. Good luck, and remomber "this is FUN" LOL.

 

I have a column for 50 bucks plus shipping!

 

Even so, he'll still have to remove his culumn and take it apart far enough to change out the ignition cylinders. Once he has it apart that far, he might as well just keep going and fix it.

That would almost be a tempting offer, though. Fixing mine was a major pain.

 

lol yea mine's a little loose too but i think i can live with the way mine is

 

is the third gen the same as a fourth gen for that procedure???

 

yup.

 

Almost every GM made is the same for that procedure.

 

In a previous issue of camaro performers magazine there was a whole section on fixing third gen loose steering colums.
