Wobble,wobble.

Today I finally decided to fix the wobble on the Monza's steering column. With a tilt steering the bolts that hold the mechanism can become loose over time and the whole assembly begins to wobble. To fix this you have to tighten those bolts. Easier said then done my good friend. Apparently it is quite common with this model car and there is an excellent description on the H-Body web site that shows you how to do it. But............what a pain in the ass. First I had to acquire the right tools. A steering wheel puller, a lock plate tool, and the special 1/4" shallow E8 torx sockets. That done I began. Now it's a small car to begin with and I'm 6' 4" and 285 lbs. Squeezing into and out of the car and removing all those under dash bolts to lower the steering shaft was a hoot. Then slowly took the shaft apart bit by bit and located the offending bolts. Unfortunately you can only easily access two of them but with a liberal dose of Loc-Tite and a good tightening the whole assembly is once again like new. And....I managed to get the whole assembly back together again and everything WORKS!....
