did backdraft have a batch of bad steering column bearing/collar.? Mine has 1433 miles ,lower collar has a lot of play and as collar is a bad design or a bad part, as inner piece of collar barely has any overlap into chrome round collar tube . I Loosened set screws and pushed all the way into steering column and tighten. because of u-joints below there's a little back and forth which makes it loose again , My upper is very loose also, have not taken apart yet. steering and lower bearing/collar move about 1/8 inch when you grab them by hand and move in all directions. hard to believe could be warn out,but seems like it was bad from the factory.
