What feels loose?  If its the steering, follow along the steering shaft
underneath.  There are a couple of
rubber steering couplers that keep vibrations out of the steering wheel.  These
will rot and crack.
A bolt (2) thru a rubber disk is the only thing keeping the steering from going
out.  If yu can, have somebody
wiggle the steering wheel while you look underneath.  Make sure that person
can't run you over though! : )
