Won't start unless I tilt wheel up and down...
Hey guys, I just picked up a 88 Wagoneer Limited for a dune and mud buggie, problem is that something in the column isn't allowing it to start unless I move the tilt up and down and it will catch and start, sometimes I think it will never start. Any ideas, and how to's. Heres a pic, and thank you for any help

no its tight, ok, so I just got this Monday and really havn't had time to mess with it. I just figured out that if you push the ignition in as far as it will go it will fire right up (previous owner said to move the tilt up and down), so do you think it could just be a bad lock?
