Exclamation 1969 Cutlass Supreme tilt steering column wobbles

Tilt steering column is wobbling in all positions. Removed all the way down to just under the turn signal plastic cam. Not sure how to tear down deeper. We see a large nut on the center shaft that may be what is stopping further removal.

1. How to tear down the steering column farther than just below the turn signal cam mechanism?

2. What typically causes the tilt steering column to wobble?

Please see the images below.

Appreciate any suggestions to further the tear down and fix the wobble.

Thanks!



Please see images attached to this post of how far it has been torn down and what to do to go further. Thanks!

You need to keep going, the 4 screws you need to tighten are further down in the column.

There are lots of YouTube videos on dissammbly/reassembly. Definitely use lock tight on the screws.

I wish I had this back in the 90s when I had to do it blind on my 86 Monte Carlo SS.
