Steering Wheel Adjustment...

Hello, my steering wheel adjustment is a bit weird... I can tug on the steering wheel when it is at the highest position, and it will go down... I checked to see if the lever was locked, and it is... Are the gears or something inside stripped?... How could I fix this problem?

I would be limping every where I went if mine was on the lowest setting.

I'm 6'5" and I have it in about the middle. It's all in how you have your seat adjusted.

6'5" eehh. Please tell me you can hoop. It should be against the law for people to be that tall and not be able to play B-Ball.

I'm 6'2"; my dad seems to believe that I drive from the back seat..

Have you taken a look under there to see what might be involved in tightening the ****. I've never had a need to tighten the locking **** but maybe it's a easy fixable procedure.

Should be a few phillips head screws holding the plastic piece over the column. I don't know how many and there exact location but it isn't hard to remove the cover.

Although I don't play too much b-ball, its not hard for me to dunk. I can usually do it standing still, depending on how I feel. From a run, 100% guarantee.
