How do you repair a loose tilt steering column on a 1988 Oldsmobile?
Doreilly
pull the steering wheel and loosen the turn signal housing and pull it to the side. Down inside the column you will see 2 black Torx head bolts (asterisk shaped). There are a total of 4 but typically you can only get to 2 of them. I think its the top 2. Anyway, take 1 of them out, apply thread lock and tighten that sucker up. Then do the same to the other. After its fixed, when you operate the tilt, don't flip the lever and let the wheel slam all the way up and in the future. just tightening the 2 small bolts should hold it fine.

What would cause your steering column on a G20 van to become loose?
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

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.
