I just repaired what sounds like the same problem less that an hour ago. There is a bearing and bushing kit which keeps the steering wheel from woobling back and forth. My Ford dea;ers had the parts on the shelf and the instructions were included. Less than a two hour repair. I do have a tilt wheel. Check the plastic housing around the wheel just under the turn sigal lever. If your tilt lever is missing, check with a small flash light and you should see where the lever threads into a 1/4" hole.
