There are some cast (pot metal/aluminum) straps that cradle the shift rod that runs down the column.  Jamman posted a pic about the bolts that hold these strap/cradles in place.  I bought a used tilt column from the salvage yard years ago and didn't notice that BOTH those straps were broken.  Luckily, the ones on my non-tilt column were good, so I just swapped them.  Check those out along with the other suggestions in this thread and I think you will find your problem!

P.S.  A hearty welcome to both "OldNotDead" and "TinCup1"... glad to have you aboard!
