Thumbs down Steering Rocking

Hi Guys, its been a while.

My steering column is rocking like crazy, what could be causing that problem?

I pulled it down to the star bolts, thinking they just needed to be tightened, but the problem goes deeper than that as they were tight.

any ideas guys?

Pretty common problem. I just ended up getting a new column and swapping in my old key cylinder to keep one key. If you made it down to the star bolts doing the cylinder is cake.

does anyone have a manual or diagram showing how the steering should be assembled? i think it just needs to be put back together, i dont see any signs of anything broken.
