Thats just what i needed. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | While you're in there, you might as well take the bolts out for the tilt mechanism and put some Loctite on them. They have a tendacy to back out. That's what causes the "floppy column" problem. I used the red kind on my Blazer, hasn't come loose anymoere.
