If you’ve got a Ford truck or van where the column shifter is loose and you have to wiggle it just to get it to start, this video is for you. I show you up close what’s actually happening—those little shift lever bushings in the column break down, the shaft starts moving up/down and side-to-side, and then the pintle/indicator won’t line up or the truck won’t fully engage Park/Drive/Reverse. This is a super common issue on Ford vans and trucks, and the fix is cheap and straightforward with basic hand tools. I walk you through pulling the steering column covers, removing the ignition lock cylinder using the little ball detent, dropping the column down onto the seat, and swapping the worn bushings using a simple bushing kit. I also show another common problem area: the shift cable linkage bolts on the back of the column that can loosen up, and how to check/tighten them by laying down and looking straight up with a flashlight. After the bushings are installed, I show how to adjust the gear indicator (pintle) using the star wheel adjuster under the column so everything lines up correctly in Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive.
