Posted: Thu May 08, 2008 4:02 pm Post subject: Tilt column repair
I am going to pick up some interior pc's and one is a tilt column for my '84.
The seller says the tilt sorta flops up and down that whatever locks it at each position may need repairs.
Can something like this be fixed or do I need to find a better column?
Thanks Aloha,
Scott

When this happened to my step daughters car, an Oldsmobile, I was real nervous. The only problem was the screws on either end of the joint. I tightened the screws and it worked fine untill she got rid of the car.
If you do take it apart, take notes and pictures. There are a lot of little pieces in there.
Good luck. _________________ Old Chevys never die
