Not sure where else to post this, feel free to move.

For years my steering column has been collapsing at the 7 o'clock position. I've always read that it was loose tilt bolts within the column but that it wasn't a safety issue. I finally had a shop (formerly a dealer) inspect and tighten the tilt bolts but they told me they were barely loose... that the column is loose at the joint.

This is my only vehicle so I would prefer minimal down time. I've located a new OEM column at my cost of $1000. Else I might be able to pickup a used one locally but would be leery of it's quality and would need to locate a local rebuilder. It's more a annoyance than anything, but if I consider the price reasonable I'd like to take care of it.

OK I have the same problem too, and my state inspection was almost failed because the guy thought it was the bolts coming loose. He said GM could fix it. I too can have wiggle down and left on the wheel. I've read the entire thread, but the old pix are not linked any more.

So the complete and official solution is new pins? Are there any other parts or bolts to repair while things are taken apart?
I bought a set of the pins from UE already (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
