If you mean your steering column seems to be loose at a point below the "tilt" feature you will have to partially disassemble the column to access the torx screws that attach the base to the column. It is not very fun or easily. You will need to remove the steering wheel, and turn signal switch, a few lock rings, the ignition lock cylinder, then the tilt tension spring, and tilt pivot pins, all the ignition actuator levers, and pull the wiring loose to allow the ignition lock cylinder housing to be moved far enough to access the setscrews that are loose, then without totally disassembling the column you can only get two of the three screws tightened. If you want to do all three you need to pull the entire column out to get the center steering shaft out . It may be better to just find a good used column and swap the ignition lock cylinder ( or find one with a key)
