Steering column
Hi guys, I think my steering column is messed up. If you grab the top of the wheel and pull down it moves. About a half inch. Does anyone else's do this? And if this has happened to someone else and have fixed it let me know what was done. Thanks. 93 vette.

I just dealt with this last week on my 93. You are in for a barrel of fun. The part that is worn out is called a "90/96 corvette tilt steering column knuckle" search for that on Ebay the Cheapest I found the part was $125 and this job is a solid 9 on the pain in the butt scale. Think about all the functions crammed into the column (Blinkers and flasher, wipers, key, horn, key buzzer switch, wire for anti-theft, wire for airbag, headlight dimmer, tilt mechanism, Steering wheel lock, control to transmission to prevent starting in anything other than p and n.) This is not an easy job. If you do not think this is a job you can do yourself, I would not be surprised to find it to be a $500 job.

vetteoz please tell me what you searched for to find that. I searched this forum ten ways to sunday using every set of terms I could think of and did not find that. When I did mine I kept going back and forth between the FSM and googling gm tilt steering. I got there but boy would that have help. I read way more than I comment because hey with a twenty year old popular car chances are someone has dealt with your issue and wrote about it before
