I have an 01 firebird. Last time to the track for some HPDE, the steering columm/wheel started to move a bit when I would turn the wheel hard into a corner. It is moving at the area of where the tilt section of the columm. Is this a common problem? More inportantly, is there an easy fix? Bushings, etc.
If memory serves me right, It pulls down and to the right a bit to the point where it affects your concentration a little in the turns. I don't think anything is going to break, but I would like to fix it to feel a little more confident. Thanks in advance, Ed |

Very common problem - the tilt pivots on pressed in pins, and one of the pins has worked loose, or the housing has worn around the pin. You can try removing the shroud in the hope of finding the pin and pressing it back in place.

I don't know if those parts are available new from GM any more. <<< Still new to the F-Body world. |
