You have to replace the entire steering column. It is not loose, the lock is broken on your column height adjuster.

If your referring to having loose steering, then you need to tighten the adjustment set screw on the steering box under the hood. Don't tighten this to much, or it will lock up the gears. Typically a loose box needs to be replaced, in very few cases will tightening the set screw actually help.

There is a large nut in the center of the wheel under the boss cover, tighten it to the manufacturers specification. If, however, the steering is wandering this could indicate a loose steering/suspension joint or problems in the rack or steering column which must be checked out and repaired before the vehicle is used further.


How do you fix a loose steering wheel on a 1987 cutlass ciera?

By loose, I assume you mean that the entire steering column is loose. That requires you to remove the steering wheel (wheel puller required) and also digging through several layers of electrical components: first layer is the turn signal. second layer is the ignition. third layer is the high beam. After the third layer, you should see 4 torx bit screws that secure the steering column. Tighten those torx bit screws and the column will no longer move up and down. If you mean the steering wheel is loose, as in there is a lot of play in the turning, then you need to adjust the rack and pinion in the engine bay.
