My 85 was the same way, after looking at all of the options I contacted a guy on the forum, he sold me a used one for $50, took about 3 hours to replace, tight as a drum. Make sure they send the keys if you are going to use the key lock that is in the column.

I had the same issue with my 85. I found a local guy who works on steering columns. I removed it and took it too him. He took mine apart and tightened up the internal screws and used loctite. I do not recall what I paid him thou.

Just disregard the 1st section on the air bag removal.

Joel:
This is probably the best set of instructions I've seen on this site. That's quite an accomplishment. Thank you.
