There are many things that contribute to this, how worn out your tilt column parts are, including the sleeve, arm, arm- pin, spring etc. Inspecting all these is a good start. But you may still experience a little slop in the arm itself. Reach out to board member 70shortfleet, he builds quality tilt columns and can help you with your questions.
This is awesome info.
I think you understand my issue. The lever spring doesn’t seem to have enough pressure to push it back into the detent. You could very well be right about the collar being loose|(which it is) and the issue it causes. I am going to contact 70shortfleet, to see if he can talk me through it.
Thanks a bunch
