Default Loose steering wheel parts question

I'm looking to order the parts to fix my loose steering column but don't know exactly what I need! I took the column apart and noticed that the pivot pins are loose in their holes. I was told that I need a new housing and pivot pins. I called a Corvette salvage yard and he informed me that it's usually the lower support that causes the wobble.
I also contacted Tom Reina at Corvette Steering Service Inc, and he said I would need a new bearing housing & a new pivot support assembly.
Now I'm alittle lost here about what part(s) I need. I'd hate to buy somthing and have it not fix my steering column. Anyone care to shed some light on this situation.

Here is the GM #: 26002678. It is called a: Spring Kit-Tilt.

I got it through a member at Flow Buick Winston-Salem, NC.

I can push my pivot pins in rather easily, so I assume I need a new housing. I got thrown off when I was told I need the lower support. From what I'm looking at in my FSM its all one part. I just want clarification on what part to buy.
