I think in 2000 they added the radio controls so that makes the wiring different from the 98-99. Mechanically I think they are all the same.

Take the two philips screws out of the kickpanels....then tighten the two bolts that hold the steering column in....thats it.....

Well...if the two bolts get loose over time....the column will drop down more and more. It will move back upward if lifted upward. But it will also move side to side as those bolts get loose.

sorry i was holding my baby while typing that last post
anyways, basically its not that simple since its loose from where the tilt is at, everything below the tilt it tight.

Thats cool...I'd have to see it. I've just had a few friends over the years complain of their steering columns bouncing up and down while driving.....it was just those two bolts. 4 minute fix.

You seem to have something else going on.....

A column is pretty cheap on Ebay. Changing them out is simple as long as youhave the correct wiring, ie: radio controls or not.
