They can be rebuilt, however I have no clue how. Mine in my old 77 chevy longbed got all shitty like that, had it fixed. I dunno what they did but it fixed it. Probably easier just to swap though for us non steering column rebuilder expert folk.

if it anything like my old 454 ss truck it a very easy but time consuming fix there is four bolts under the steerin lock plate and turn signal switch that come loose i had to do mine three times untill i put some red lock tight on them then i never had that problem again

I noticed recently that the steering column in the S10 is becoming loose and wobbly, to the point that it moves when you turn the wheel.

I'm guessing this is a bad thing.

So can these things be rebuilt, or should I just rip it out and find an organ donor?
It is a tilt-wheel column. I feel like I heard that you just R&R the thing as opposed to trying to save it.

I'm a bit worried about my wife driving it like this, since she is not even the slightest bit mechanically inclined.

Where are you located? I have repaired many of the loose steering columns with no problems, usually takes me about 30 minutes to fix and i have ALL the required tools.

I usually charge $75.00 to repair them, but since you're here from the board i'll do it for $50.00. Just bring it down here some evening and i'll fix it while you wait.

Also, if you listen to Mike it will cost you more as i can have an angry appetite sometimes. :pimp2:

Thanks Scott for your time and hard work. :beer:

Feels like new, nice and tight.
The best $50 I ever spent.

You better watch how you say things around here. :flipoff2:

I'm glad i could fix your steering column for you, or your wife. Having the correct tools sure makes those jobs easier. :thumb:
