Default Steering column

I have noticed a slight play in my steering column. I can push it up towards the windshield even though its in a locked position with the tilt lever. so it looks like there is some bolts loose. Has anyone had problems like this if so how did you fix it?

You have to pull the steering column apart and tighten the bolts in there. This is common on that type of GM steering column.
