Dumb question -

On my "new" 560SEL, I have noticed that the steering wheel has about 1/2 to 3/4" play in the up-down direction

I can move it up, gravity takes it back down. Feels like something is loose.

Before I tear my dash apart, does anyone know off hand what could cause this and if it's just something I need to tighten or if something is shot?


Thanks!
