Yes under the horn button there is a big nut. Tighten that.

Yikes!!

Seriously, the columns become loose because of 4 bolts that are located beneath the locking plate, under the signal canceling cam, below the housing, in the bowl ......

You need special tools and experience to fix it. Tell your friend to take it to a shop because if he doesn't know what's wrong with it he will just hurt it worse trying to work on it.

Or he can bring it by and I will fix it up for him.
