Tilt/T column problem need help
I have ‘75 corvette and a tilt/telescopic steering colum that has a lot of play. I have no experience with steering column besides fixing my turn signal switch.
I need to know WHAT PART To replace to fix this
Colum flexes/ sloppy at joint in picture
I’ve googled and looking into issue
Probably from years of “pulling” myself into vehicle
I want to fix before spring but I don’t know what actual part I need to replace the name etc or what’s actually wrong and what’s involved getting to it to replace it.

Won't promise on a 75 specifically, but on my 78 and most all GM's I have seen, there are torx head type bolts down there that loosen with age. Cure is to disassemble down to it and tighten them.

If you do a google search for Jim Shea, you will find his site with all kinds of diagrams and repair instructions for our steering columns.
