Mine has always been loose. I completely disassembled it over the summer and retightened everything and it was better the next few times I drove it. It's not a daily driver. However, it loosened up again, but not as bad as before. I just lean foward a little and I can see fine. I asked a few fellow CUCV owners at the last couple rallies and it seems to be a common problem. I really don't think the build quality of any US vehicle from the mid 80's was that great. I know some may give me crap for that, but I feel is was a down point in quality. Still love my truck either way.
