Default Wobbly wheel

My steering wheel is really wobbly. No matter what position it's in you can wiggle it all around like more than 1/2" to each side. Is that normal or do I need to tighten somethin up?

different problem. Mine isn't a loseness when you are turning the wheel, it's like the nut that holds the wheel on is loose, so I can ush on the right side of the wheek, and it'll move forward and left side will come back. get what I mean?

oooooo...my bad....so the actual wheel itself is loose....try pulling the horn off and see if you can tighten the nut up....it should come right off unless you have airbags
