new thread, new (rare)problem..

so, what's up with my tilt steering wheel? i tried to adjust it to my specifications and when i pulled the lever down my steering wheel went all the way down too. that's good, it's the way i like it.. BUT now i can move the wheel up and down without me even pulling the lever down. not only is this uncool and annoying, it's also pretty damn unsafe.

is there something i'm missing?

What are you a midget? The tilt steering wheel is a joke since most people always have it all the way up. Im thinking of getting a smaller wheel so I can get in easier.

Thumbs up

well, i got it fixed(if anyone cares...)

alls i did was insert a nail where the wheel slides up and down this bracket close to the firewall. sounds ghetto(probably cuz it is), but it works!
