The five general components of a steering system are the steering wheel, steering column, steering gear, linkages, and the wheels themselves. The steering wheel allows the driver to input direction, which is transmitted through the steering column to the steering gear, converting rotational motion into linear motion. The linkages connect the steering gear to the wheels, ensuring that turning the wheel effectively pivots the wheels in the desired direction. Together, these components enable precise control and maneuverability of the vehicle.

To repair a 1987 Plymouth Reliant tilt steering column, first, remove the steering wheel by unscrewing the retaining nut and using a steering wheel puller if necessary. Next, carefully disassemble the column by removing the cover and any retaining screws or clips, paying attention to the tilt mechanism. Inspect and replace any damaged components, such as bearings or pivot pins, and reassemble the column in reverse order, ensuring all parts are securely fastened. Finally, reconnect the steering column to the steering gear and test for proper function before reattaching the steering wheel.
you may need to replace the motor that causes the wheel to move. I had the same problem. Also the gear wheel that the motor attaches too was broken on mine. You might want to inspect that as well when you remove the motor.
