steering wheel play

so first i had a sqeaking problem with my steering wheel but i got that fixed. now the whole damn thing (meaning my steering wheel) has some "up and down" play in it. i dont think it is the shaft but i have'nt the slightest clue on what is up with it. it moves a good 1 inch and it is driving me nuts. any ideas on what the problem could be? thanks

a bushing in the shaft-when they are going bad they start squeaking or scraping. GM's have 3 bolts you can tighten, but not fords. Look for a used column.

You mean its like the tilt steering wheel lever is pushed in?

kind of. i thought it was something to do with my tilt lever but i can still move the steering wheel about an inch up and down. i'm gonna take it apart and see what it is for sure...even then tho idk if my few mechanic skills will work haha
