- How to tighten GM tilt steering column so that it’s not sloppy. The removal process is slightly different for 73-78 square body trucks. This is a 1978 K5 blazer.
If you’re just removing the ignition cylinder: • Video
Back story:
When I bought this car it had a steering wheel wobble and the steering wheel felt like it was coming off - I think some people call this a “death rattle.” After some reading, I realized it just needed some adjusting, which meant that I had to remove the steering column (or a good chunk of the steering assembly in the cab at least) and tighten down four bolts.
Some say you can do this without any special tools, but I’d recommend a steering wheel removal kit and a pivot pin remover. Both are pretty cheap to buy (under $50 for the set) and sometimes free to borrow from most part stores.
Usually I don’t like videos that have excessive talking. everything you were noting was not only the proper way, but also good tips including obstacles you overcame. I appreciate you trying to save the next man who runs into this problem. 10/10 Bro
Definitely subscribing because I just bought a k5 blazer and these vids are literally GOLD
Holy shit - thanks dude! As a guy doing this in my backyard I’m stoked to hear that. Reach out if you ever have any questions.
Super helpful , well done Sir! Thank you for taking the time to make this. I'm very appreciative of how many details you covered +++
Glad it helped. I based it off the notes I took when I first did mine and I tried to focus on the parts I thought were tricky.
Excellent video. Well done Sir. Now i can go in with confidence.
Thanks! Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Its a 79 vette. Hopefully it resembles your video. Exact same issue. Crossed fingers
Good job man 👍👍
Best wishes from 🇮🇳
Excellent, thank you so much for the information, super useful & on point... ur the man... this really helped my rebuild , ur a great teacher...
Thanks! Glad it worked out for you.
Super helpful video, thank you so much for posting this. My truck is a 1984. Would you happen to know what “differences“ I would need to look for when performing this on my steering column while using your video as a guide?
Do you think this will fix the issue of my horn going off when i push a little on the wheel on my 73 nova. Now it feels a little loose it happened after i hit a knarly dip
I HAVE A 75 GMC VAN SAME TROUBLE , hope its the same *

6:06 that metal wire on that gear broke on mine where can i find a replacement? does it do something with my ignition cause it doesnt click anymore
Will it work on cj 5 with aftermarket tiltwheel chevy steering coulinulim
Stuck at 8:45. Can't get the final housing off to access bolts. Any tips?
I'm currently having the loose steering column issue with my 1990 squarebody Suburban. This seems like a great reference but I was wondering if you happen to know of any differences
Should be largely similar. Only slight differences in the screws used throughout. I don’t remember where exactly, but I referenced a few manuals on late squarebody’s before doing this job.
@@Kyle-ry5kg thank you for the response!
If your gonna talk through the steps show useing the tools alot of people dont knw how to use the tools or wat to put it on.
You probably shouldn't be doing any of this then if you don't know how to use tools.
How did you get the pivot pins to come out so easy? My anchoring bolt busted the head off on one side and it never budged the pin. Gonna let then soak overnight with p-oil.
You use a pivot pin remover? I hit them with some kroil and let them soak for about 5 minutes. They came out fine.
Good to go now! Thanks
