How do I fix a loose steering wheel on my 1996 Ford F-150?

The steering on the truck itself is fine, its the steering wheel within the cab that is loose. I inspected it and found that there is a bearing or washer that is broken.

    The ford motor co. may offer a kit to repair that steering column, unless it has just come loose under the dash. The bolts that hold the column in place may have vibrated loose. In the event you rebuild your column and find out that it was something else, there may be too much free play in the steering gear itself. There is an adjuster and jamb nut on the top plate of the steering box, try adjusting that to take out the play.
