Wobbly steering wheel

[gnman87]

Hey guys.. had this problem with my 86 GN too.. but, had a shop fix it.. now my 87's steering wheel is wobbling as well. Just some up and down play right now..but, I know it gets worse. Can someone give me a step by step repair for this. I'd like to do it myself if I'm able.

thanks

try this

Most likely it is the four male torx bolts deeeeeeeep inside the steering column. I highly recommend removing the column to do it.... causes less cursing (well maybe).... It is a PITA to say the least.... Here is a link to the "how to"

Oh... don't forget to take them out one at a time.. and loctite before you tighten....
