I am working on my sons 2001 tahoe trying to fix a loose steering wheel. To be clear, the steering is not loose but the steering wheel is lose. There is plenty of play in all directions and can pull out about a half inch. After pulling off the steering wheel, I see another shaft that is about 5-6 inches long that connects to a longer shaft that goes down the distance of the steering column. This 5-6 inch shaft seems to have alot of play. I am thinking there is some worn out bearing or perhaps he hit the steering wheel and broke something that he isnt sure of. Any guidance or advice would be appreciated.
We are trying to find out why we have so much play. Also the steering column bearing near the floor board seems tight with limited play.
I have attached a video to show the play.
