Tried Bronco boys write-up for this but can´t find an answer for my problem..

My tilt function on the steering column doesn´t work, nothing happends when you push the turn lever forward.
If you push the tilt jaw by hand it works fine and you can adjust it.

The metal rod doesn´t travel enough to push the jaw open.





Do these get bend by time? It looks quite straight..



Do I dare to bend it slightly or will it snap of..?!

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to push forward and give it a hand tilting up with the stalk in the forward position? It could be semi seize from not using it.

Yeah, I tryied push as hard as I dared before I took it apart. The problem is that the metal rod isn´t doing anything to the tilt jaw.

Can anyone please tell me if their column looks like mine inside?

 

[Aragoon]

Wo-hoo! It now works!

Thought I try massbronco solution out and push the metal rod really hard a couple of times and it broke free. Lubed everything up and put it all together of course it didn´t work anymore...

So I pushed a little more...breaking the turn signal plastic housing where you put the lever in... :banghead

..but it works and I´ve got tilt wheel! :chili:

i can push mine backwords and there is very little resistance and the tilt wheel dont work. if i pull it backwords(more resistance but seems factory) the tilt wheel works. i dont know if your colum is different than mine

Yes, they bend, and yes, you can bend them back.

But also be careful when doing it, as they break very easily. Thus why I don't have tilt right now. :brownbag
