GM tilt columns have a nasty habit of four E8 bolts becoming loose in the tilt assembly. If you can tighten them up and apply some Loctite on them while you have things apart it might save you a future project. These loose bolts is the reason I took our column apart.
I was not going to replace the bearing at the bottom of the shaft, it felt fine to me, but by doing so we eliminated play in the steering system. Much easier to stay in our lane without constant correction. I was unable to get my column compressed and back together after repair. I wimped out and sent it to:

Doug was the guy who convinced me to change out that bottom bearing. If I had it to to over, I would have just had him do the job.
The price was reasonable, service was fast, and he really knows his business, If i remember correctly he is an FAA certified technician.
