Re: van tilt column questions
I got the column shortened. Easy to do. Ended taking shaft to machine shop to have dd cut. Chuck it looks like you replaced the lower bearing. Did you get it a local gm dealership? Looking to replace lower bearing and shift indicater pointer while i have it apart. If i can find them.

Re: van tilt column questions
Didn't replace it, just cleaned it up, greased it and repainted the retainer and clip!

Re: van tilt column questions
Bearing is tight on shaft but plastic bearing retainer to column outer tube has some play. Probably the way it was designed? Every part of the camaro clip has been replaced. And want to take all the play i can out of the column.

Re: van tilt column questions
My plastic/nylon bearing retainer was a snug fit, you might want to try and get another one to remove any play you have.
