Tighten it up.

It pivots on two bushings that have two Torx screws each holding them in place. They come loose, and the wheel/column wobbles. You have to partially disassemble the column from the wheel down to get to them.

I myself particularly enjoyed the exercise...

You're a little bit of a sadist, aren't you? That's almosy kinky.


As for the tilt problem, you can search the archives and find several, lengthy threads on the topic, with instructions, diagrams, and 8 x 10 black & white glossy photographs with the little circles and lines (just like Alice's Restaurant).
