My '89 F-150 Supercab has a tilt wheel column. The tilt joint appears to be solid, but I can get quite a bit of flex up and down at the steering wheel. It feels like a worn out bushing or something. Helm hasn't had the shop manual for this vehicle available for the past 2 years. Anyone run into this before?

My 89 F-250 has this same problem.It doesn't move much but I don't like it.Please someone tell me how to fix this problem.Thanks

 

Right behind the lower shroud on the column there are four allen wrench bolts which will snug that tilt column right up. I did mine while I replaced a turn signal switch,but there must be an easier way to get to them. Might be possible to pull off the lower dash panels and get to them that way.
