Default Loose Steering Column

Well, I've got an 87 Celebrity, 92k miles.

The tilt assembly is loose from WITHIN the column its self, I already removed the panel under the dash to check the mounts, they are tight.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fixing this myself? I do have mechanical experience, I've just never seen this before, at least not in my life time. (I'm only 19)

Anywho, anyone got any kind of tutorial with pictures or anything?

THanks in advance guys and gals.

-Gabe

The carrier bearings are bad. Get a new steering column
