there are 2 bolts that holds the column in place the bolts maybe missing or loose that happen to me once in my 89--if you need to replace column you may want to bypass the vats system column without this system are cheaper if you go this way you will need to fish all the wireing through the column it not that big of a job if i can help let me know i have done this on several camaros

neither. hmmm. i dono whats up. all i know is she goes strait, then all the sudden she'll pull hard to the left and randomly switch to pulling hard to the right. my dad said he felt the steering column moving but im thinking its somthing suspension related. oh well, ill get her up on the lift at school tomarrow. right now im trying to figure out why she dies while going up my drivway. doesdnt die anywhere else except sometimes when im pulling in. and the ecm still thinks the car is on cuz i can move the tranny all the way through the gears. kind awierd.
