It is minor but it is there and i want it right. thanks for your time

Answer
Hello Charles.  It sounds like someone has replaced the correct parts with some wrong ones.
We have recently uploaded some videos on our company website to give you first hand viewing of how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the loose tilt column you are talking about. They are broken down into step by step 2-3 minute detailed videos with instructions. Although the videos are for a Chevrolet truck, the column is very similar to yours.
