White93z34 Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 my steering column, since my wreck its been in a constand un tilted position, as in it just wants to prety much go up and down however it pleases, the tilt will not lock into place, how hard is this to fix if its even possable, or would i be further ahread to bite the bullet and buy a new column?

DiscoStudd Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 From what I gather, the 88-93 columns have more in common with the "saginaw" style columns than the newer "square" GM columns. I know for sure that you can repair the 91-94 Cavalier column ("square" type) when this happens because the cover is easily removed and the tilt mechanism is readily exposed. I can tell you that when this happens on a saginaw, it's more hassle to try to fix it than it is to replace the whole column. I vote you replace the column and dissect the old one so you can learn how it all goes together and whether or not it's a good idea to repair the tilt mechanism yourself...

93CutlassSupreme Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 i say you replace the whole car but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 i'm leaning towards a whole new column, since my one turn signal switch works sometimes and my highbeam switch is totally inop, but its just that i'm flat ass broke and want to make this one work, but i'll probably end up replaceing it.

Brian P Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 If you hit that wheel hard enough, it may have partially collapsed internally already. Just replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
