Your column is loose because of the ball bearing slodes in the unit. You can repir the column if your good with dismantleing things like that or you can get a used column for around 250$ and install it. After the lower dash trim is removed there are 5 wire plugs going to it that must be removed, first remove the retaning bolt that goes through the universal joint near floor....take this bolt all the way out and then slide the shaft out and down toward the floor. Then you can take out the remaining 4 bolts that hold up the unit. Pretty straight forward and simple....getting the column will be the hardest part......When installing another column you will want to use white lithium grease on all moving parts.
