FIGURE 1 - Steering Column:




Some 1984 Cadillacs equipped with tilt or tilt and telescope steering columns may experience a rattling noise in the area of the ignition lock. This condition may result from inadequate lubrication of the lock bolt.

To correct this condition, remove the lock housing cover using the procedure outlined in Section 3B3 of the 1984 Service Information Manual. Liberally coat the exposed area of the lock bolt with lithium base chassis grease (refer to Figure 1) and reassemble.
