Default Steering Column Housing

Does anyone know where to get a new steering Column Housing beside's GM because they told me it's discontinued? I called around to local part shops but they don't have.

Also how safe is it to drive my car with the slight wobble in the wheel?

Thanks!

Do you guys think it will be ok to still drive the car with the column loose until I get the new part? I mean it's been that way for 2 years already. It can't fall off right?
