Does the play fee llike it's in the tilt mechanism? If so:
Remove the steering column cover
On the left side you will see 2 phillips or torx screws,remove them
Take that switch or module...whatever it's called and pull it up and toward the gauges
You will then see two 13mm bolts. These bolts usually become loose over time and cause the steering wheel/column to wobble...Remove them and apply some blue loctite to the threads
Put the 13mm bolts back in and tighten to your liking. Don't over tighten them, they screw into aluminum.
Put the module/switch back on with the other 2 screw and reapply the cover.
Drink beer.
