I'm installing my tilt column in my 72 Cutlass Supreme and as I tighten the two nuts that hold the column in place at the dash its favoring to one side no matter how much opposing pressure I place to counter this movement. It is so severe that the collar is resting against the dash and scraping my fresh paint job. Anyone have any suggestions? I also have the firewall bracket very loose at the moment as well.

 

they have shims from the factory they are wedge shaped to help do you have then?

 

What Mark said. I might be able to dig some out if you don't have them.
