I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but there is a lever to alter the up/down tilt, and there are some nuts that adjust left/right position.

If the wheel moves about it sounds like your tilt column is loose. Its a common fault as GM never put thread lock on the bolts, I have done loads of them and its not a good job to do if it is that. You can get to 2 of the bolts for a quick fix easier than doing all 4 but it wont last long. Where abouts are you?

just spent a good day doing a column change on my rs to solve the prob! takeing them to bits is no fun lol. found the 89 iroc column i swaped with was different so i had to strip it down and swap parts (indicator switch needed to be swaped as it was broken) wish i knew about tighten the bolts as i think they were the problem, couldnt see it when it was in the car!

Its just the 4 torque bolts where the column bolts to the tilt part. You have to strip it pretty far to get to them. You can strip a bit of it and get to just 2 bolts but it wont last as long so worth going the extra bit. also need specialist tools
