Steering Column Loose Connection
Hey I just installed ebay steering column which is suppose to be a GM original piece. i am having fitment issues where it bolts to the one that comes out of the firewall. I orginally torqued the bolt to the factory specification and there was a bunch of play side to side. So I torqued it down more and still nothing. The steering wheel has about a half inch of play due to this connection. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue. Thanks

Re: Steering Column Loose Connection
The end of your steering column (where the bolt goes through) is necked down isn't it? Going from memory, I think they are.
The "replacement" part may be designed for a column with a non-tapered steering shaft. Not sure you got the correct part.
