I emailed Kerry Jamison and he gave me a direct email to a company that does nothing but steering columns.

I looked up the materials to fix that comes with the pins etc from the link. GM part # 26010580 for 64.00 at GMpartsdirect? Does this sound fair.

The price isn't bad, but why not buy from Chris May at Superior Chevrolet. He's been great at helping me get parts for years now, including steering column parts.
I'd try just the pins first, but it's likely that the housings are worn as well and will need replacement. I think the spring in the kit is worthless, but the pins are a pretty easy swap if you take your time. I'm replacing the housings but I'm stuck until I can find a 1" shaft retainer to replace the one I need to cut off so I can pull the steering shaft to replace the lower housing.
