Default Bolt location for loose steering on column

Been doing some research for my sloppy loose steering. Thought I'd give checking out the bolts that everyone says to double check on a tilt column since they are known to get loose. I have a 97 xj. Where are the bolts located exactly???

Found my problem. Gear box was about to come off. This was the only bolt holding it to the frame. other screw was almost all the way out.
