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,

I knew going in that the potential is there for the condition to occur again; the aluminum in the steering column must be incredibly soft. To prevent this from happening in the future, I installed a quick disconnect so the wheel doesn't accidentally tugged on. Also, I don't move around much in my seat while cornering so hopefully the condition won't return.

For now, it feels really great to drive the car with a column that feels brand new.
