play in steering column

Hi - new to post but reading the forum for quite a while:

got a question about my new 84 GTV6....

my steering wheel has a weird play: I can move it up/down/left/right several millimeters - it feels pretty lose - to be more exact, not the steering wheel feels lose but the steering column. The wheel is solidly attached to the column but when I grab the wheel my entire steering column moves inside its steering column tunnel. So, it's not the adjuster for adjusting the wheel height - I can tighten that up. It's loose inside its column. It almost feels like the bearing on top ( I assume there is one - where the column exits from the tunnel - right under the big steering wheel nut) is missing????

It's not longitudinal play. I searched the BB and found the thread on the rubber coupling problem with Alfetta and GTV6s but i am not sure if this is my problem. This is the thread I am referring to

Steering Column question

sorry for my longwinded explanation - hope to get some help

thx
