Movable steering column

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

It doesn't take much to hold that bearing in.  I had to use scotch tape to fix
mine (all I had at the moment).  I had planned on a more permanent solution
later on, but it is still holding just fine, and that quick fix was like 3 years
ago at Dan Snows place in Tam-pa.
