A lot of times you reall ydon't need to do major work to your steering column to get a lot of the slop out. I would try to adjust it first and see hat ahppens. Or you might try to turn the cam follower 90 degrees and see if that helps. Those get flat spots on the sides of them and if you turn them, you can take some of the slop out of the steering. Now if the pivot bolt has a lot of play from the hole in the column being wallered ou, you can do what i did and take it to a maching shop and have bushing put in each side to take the slop out. You can buy bushings for a 982 column for $4.50 each (2 required) and have them inserted or you can has the machine shop put oillite bushings in it. You also might want to try to tighten up the big pug in the bottom of the column. There is a cotter pin that hods that in place and they break a lot and allow it to loosen up and cause a lot of play in the steering. So basically, try to adjust it and see where you are at before spending a bunch of money on it that you might not hve to do.
