Plastic pieces on steering column..... Help!!!!

I just recently picked up a 2001 F-150 4x4 super crew. The steering column is wobbling a little when I hit bumps. I accessed the column and there are two white plastic "bushings" that hold the casted portion of the column tight against the studs with the star ends. This is above where the reinforcement bracket is bolted on. One of them is worn and won't tighten down to hold the column tight. I have no idea what these are called so I can't find them to order them, I used a large washer for the time being but would really like to replace with new ones. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks from the new guy!!!

Those should be the plastic break away mounts that are supposed to break in a collision. I'm not sure the name but a description to the parts person at Ford should help.
