I don't think it's a "sloppy" column as mentioned in this category, but when I go over small bumps in the road i feel the knocking coming right up the column and in the steering wheel. Under the hood, when I grab the column and try to move it up and down, there is play,,,I can see the movement at the firewall. However, there is no movement or loose play when grabbing and trying to move the steering wheel by itself. Where is the culprit?? I can post pics/video if that will help. I have a basic stock setup. 77 C-10.
