Probly the 3 torx screws in the column under the turn sig switch,Or the tilt pins are loose!

Isn't that normal? Isn't that the space between the different tilt-lock positions?

Naw,it ain't that bad!!You can set in the drivers seat to do it!! Be sure to disconnect the positive battery cable and ground it,I'd hate to see you eat a Air Bag!!

PS Be ex specially careful with the clock spring under the steering wheel,It's the connecting circuit for the air bag,they won't take much abuse and there Expensive!!

i have experienced the eating of an airbag...it happens really quick and then there is a moment of silence when you realize something has gone terribly wrong...lol

I havent pulled an air bag in a vette...but I did in a pontiac and remember a warning about a residual charge even with battery dis-connected. There was an extra procedure with extra disconnecting under dash,static discharge, as well as carrying it away from your body even when removed.
The warnings kinda scared me so I just treated it like a gun...assume its loaded and not point it toward anything you didnt want to hurt.....Make sure not to point it toward the family jewels
