That’s a common C4 problem. A bushing in the steering column tilt mechnisim wears out. Here’s the fix.

Its loose because people use the wheel as leverage getting in and out of the car and it wears out. Very common.

also you must have the only 96 ZR-1 built hold onto that one.

doesnt really matter as the airbags and steering column are the same for the given model year ZR-1 or not.
