Okay, so one of the problems with the car was that the steering wheel was very wobbly. So wobbly, you wouldn't want to drive it or trust it. It was also loose and was hitting one of the gauges (damaged the ring - new one on its way in the mail). This is a standard problem on Porsche 911s with the worn out bushing, so I assumed the same. Trouble is, it's not easy to get to:

Got the console out, and the wheel off (had to loosen the bolts in the front trunk). The problem is that this very old bushing is made of some type of wood-like material and the hole that they use to secure it is worn through. The bushing itself is okay. I ordered a new Delrin bushing, but we can't use it (I'll explain in a bit):



Here is the hole that the bushing goes in:
