Tilt Steering Slippage 850 96

posted by  someone claiming to be rollo on  Mon Mar 26 15:05 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The steering wheel adjuster on my 850GLT slips and allows the wheel to slowly return to the lower position. I was reading here that someone had a fix for this, but they didn't say how or what. Any clues?

'96 850 GLT 84K miles, original A/C evaporator tested down to 39 degrees F last week. Ready for summer!

The locking mechanism loosens over time and needs to be tightened. On the pass side of the column just opposite the tilt lever, is a 10mm bolt head. It can be seen without removing the covers. You need to tighten the screw a little at a time till the column locks securely, but not so tight that it puts undue stress on the plastic locking handle.
