[72 Burb 3dr]

I do have to pull the shift lever towards me to get out of or into park, but I have noticed that there is a lot of play in the "park" setting. Enough that it won't start sometimes unless I wiggle it.

Lower bearing - inside the shaft/column in the truck, or under the hood? When I pull up on the wheel, it moves upwords towards me, including from under the hood. I had a helper visually verify this.
