It depends on if it is the column itself, or the steering wheel. The wheel is held on with a bolt, I doubt it loosened, unless it was recently worked on. The column mounts can be loose or damaged( due to an accident). They can be tightened or replaced. With the problem is inside the column, it is needs replacing, with new or 1 from a scrap yard.
Could be just loose screws or something broken. Either way it has to come apart and that requires a few special tools. Quite a few steps involved. I would recommend purchasing a shop repair manual for that vehicle if you intend on DIY.

I have a stering colum that is loose and feels like it will fall in my lap.What is going on and how do I fix it?
You have to replace the entire steering column. It is not loose, the lock is broken on your column height adjuster.
There are 4 bolts at the bottom of the steering column that tend to get loose after entering and exiting your vehicle. Pulling your self up on the steering wheel puts stress the steering column and causes it to become loose. If you do not correct the problem fast by tightening the bolts you will have to replace the entire steering column.. -Henry's locksmith and steering column repair
Typically, it'll be the u-joints in the steering column.
Excess play in the steering wheel is one symptom.
Tilt column? If so it will be the tilt knuckle that has came loose the whhel wont fall off but if gets too loose the steering could lock up tho
You do have to take the steering column loose and drop it down so you can get your hand up to the small clip that holds the brake booster rod off. But you do not have to take it all the way out. Just drop it down.
What it would cost to fix your steering column depends on what is wrong with it and you did not tell us. The tilt steering column in my 1989 GMC Suburban became loose in the tilt mechanism. I was quoted as much as $125.00 to fix it, but I shopped around and got it repaired for $60.00. Unless your steering column has the same problem that number is probably useless. I would suggest you call several shops and get a quite to fix it.
