Can you tell me more about the column replacement? What did you use, and does it cure that annoying down-left movement of the whole column? That's my single biggest gripe on my car, can't believe any car ever left a factory with a column that isn't rock solid.

since I knew the 90 plastic housing was shorter than that of the 87, I had to cut a ring off the 87 housing which fits nicely in the 90 to give a stepped housing look. on my old 89 I glued it.. I did not on this one. I had originally thought I would use the OEM steering wheel but decided on a Momo Trek R 350mm wheel. to mount it I used the Momo 2702 adapter. I had to mod the ground wire for the horn and I have a bolt in one of the puller threaded holes for a ground.

I think my column I got was slightly worn, but it is tighter. I will tell you this.. It is my understanding that the heavy airbag caused some of those column problems in the 90 up cars.
The pieces used for tilt from 89 to the 90- later are then same essentially, the electronics and outer pieces changed, as did the upper shaft.. the lower break away shaft is the same

So you replaced the whole column? I didn't know GM offered a telescoping and tilt column. Was this an option in the Vette at all. That would be awesome for me.

My 84 had T/T column. Loved that.

I swapped the whole column.. assembled it on the bench prior to install.. I really like having the telescopic feature again..

One reason I like the mule cars is the Atari style dash remains with the LT5 power, I wonder if they had the older column as well? Well done I know you have been wanting to do this for a while

Sounds like you need to replace the pivot pin That Mark Haibeck sells. It oversized and corrects this problem Yours should travel up and down centered. That would annoy me too.
