There are three screws that tend to loosen up and cause the floppy upper column. You have to remover the steering wheel, lock plate, and turn signal switch to get to the screws, but it's not real difficult. A column from 84 to 94 will swap, and a lot of GM vehicles use the very same column.

Well I will try to look into it. My power steering went out so I though maybe the extra torquing on it maybe made it break something in there.
