Sterring Wheel Loose?

boston08

Hello I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Aruora That i just bought in April, Now the sterring wheel is loose it moves up and down and you can feel some play in it while driving! So i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of such a thing like this? At first it didn't pass state inspection because of the play the wheel had in it,,So the place i bought it from somehow got a sticker on it..Than he told me it was suspoes to be that way incase i got in an accident so i wouldn't be trapped in my car..I feel that is bull s*** because why would the state not have known about that? Anyways please some help here before i go back to where i bought it from and give them hell..I drive with 2 little children in the car with me..So i don't want to put them nor myself at risk for an accident..Thanks

It is likely that one or both of the tilt column pins have fallen out of your steering column. It is a common problem in 95 Auroras. Look around on the floor or behind the dash to see if you can find them. They look like cylinders about the size of a dime at the ends and one end has a threaded screw hole.

Here is a link to more information on how to fix the problem:

It's really not a hard job once you get into it. I had the problem about a month ago.
