Tilt steering wheel
« on: October 30, 2015, 07:36:33 pm »
1984 K10 with tilt steering wheel. When I push upwards on the bottom of the steering wheel it has a lot of play/slop . Is this the dreaded 4 bolts without locktite issue? Figured I'd ask before starting the whole steering column disassembly. Thanks.

If the column remains rigid in the dash and only the steering wheel and upper column housing are loose, then yes.   How-To: Fixing a Sloppy GM Tilt Column

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Yes.  More so, the first time through.  The Torx drivers and three special tools (steering wheel puller, lock plate depressor, and pivot pin remover) make the job considerably easier.

Might have something to do with your phone(?).  It Links to the Technical Pages thread by the same name.
