steering column on 89BII

Trying to remove some play in my 89 BII steering coumn with tilt & auto. Is there a Ujoint inside of the tilt mechanism? The picture I have in my Chiltons does not show enough detail. Also between the tilt & where the column exits the firewall are there another joints? Before I tear it down I would like to know where the possible looseness maybe.

tilt head ujoint

Can you scan in a picture? So that looks to be the only joint inside the column?Does the manual say how to get to the flex head? Thanks for the info.

You have to remove the column then you grasp the tilt lever to gradually release the spring pressure from tilt spring when the bolts are removed. Disengage tilt head lock levers and remove tilt head and steering shaft column from lock housing and column tube.

The picture stinks, nothing is labeled.
