Tilt column woes

[Luke Bandt]

I have the typical loose tilt column. I fixed it but the two springs in the attached file fell out on disassembly and I don't know where they go. I believe the top one holds the signal arm in detent and the lower I think goes in the back side of the bowl piece under the cancelling cam, just not sure how. Thanks all

For that audible ding? So if I don't put that back in that's all it would affect?

 

[gmparts]

correct

No idea on the top one?

Try your turn signal lever. I think that is the one that latches the arm until the steering wheel pops it back to neutral.

I think you're right.. now just to figure out how it actually sits in there

Try to google "loose g body column". There is a guy on one of the el camino sites that posted step by step how to fix a loose column and has pics shown. I did my column but its been awhile and i don't remember that spring. Hope this helps!
