This is a very common problem. You will need to remove the steering wh but eel, lock plate, and blinker assy to access the three torx screws that hold the tilt assembly together. Tighten these three screws and you will notice a huge improvement. It won't be 100% but it will be much better.

I thought the columns were the same between models? Just changed a little with the years?
