Thumbs up Found the problem!

Hi all,

I found my problem. I got up under the dash last night and found the loop that keeps the steering column in place. It has some plastic bushings that insulate the metal loop from the column housing. The movement in the steering column was creating a groaning noise when it would pivot inside the plastic bushings. I tightened down the loop and it cured the noise. The noise had gotten quiet loud. I was worried that the steering column was wearing out or something.
I did notice something unnerving. There is slight movement in the steering column as it goes through the firewall. I guess this is normal. It does this on my 65 Mustang but that is expected from a 36 year old car.
Oh well… If anyone is experiencing noise in there steering column, I hope this helps.
