92 mercury topaz, auto, Tilt Steering problem. Sign In

Anyone know where I can find a diagram, or directions as to how to repair the tilt steering on a 92 mercury topaz, 3 speed auto?

The tilt mechnism will NOT lock into place. The wheel just flops up and down now. Left to right steering is ok, its just that I cannot get it locked into any one position.

I have a harmonic balance puller and gear pullers for removing the steering wheel. ( it does not have air bags).
Chiltons book that I have does not show the insides of the tilt mechinism.

Any help appreacted.. Espically a diagram of this thing.. I hope I don't end up having to replace the whole damm stearing wheel shaft.

Its a 92, have someone weld a short rod or bar to keep it in place and call it a day.

Hello guest. And welcome to our forum. The regulars here at carjunky try to assist the people in repairing the vehicle, not a patch job. This poster asked for a specific thing and we responded with what they asked for. If they had wanted a patch job, it is possible they would of asked us for such. We welcome anyone that has knowledge ans is willing to share, but we are not a chop shop. Please continue to use our forum, but, please, try to offer information the poster wants. Thanks. way2old

Hope this works, but here is where u can go to see pictures of this wreck in progress..

There are some others in that same subfolder of the shifter cable that was broke but has now been re-engineered and is working.
