Hi Guys, I'm new at this, but the steering wheel on my 84 maro is really loose. I mean you can physically move the wheel around or jiggle it.

Any ideas, do I replace it with a new wheel.

What you have to do is pull the steering wheel and all the little things behind it to get to the pivot for the tilt. It could be something as easy as tightening some bolts in there (I have never been this lucky) or you may have to change the tilt mechanism (I had to do this twice) due to it being broke at the pivot. If you are new at this you really want to get someone to help/show you how. There are a few tricks to it.

You may find good instructions on the net to do this with pics. I have never looked.

Or you could get another steering column from the junkyard and pop it in. About $40. You could also use this column for parts.
