rag joint

hi all

the steering wheel on my 78 was loose,so i took the column apart only to find the 4 bolts were tight.

after looking at it awhile my friend came over and wiggled the wheel and i found the rag joint looked like it was moving.

took a pry bar and jammed it in the joint and the wheel was fine.

anyone had this problem?

is it really the joint doing this?

thanks

Which way is the wiggle?  That makes a difference.  If it is rotational, then yes it could be the rag jount.  If not check the lower bearing in the column for play.
