Two possibilities: either the collapsible "cage" portion of the column structure has broken, or -- I've read but not experienced -- the bearing in the column behind the wheel has failed. If it's the former, then, unless you can weld, the part must be replaced. If it's the latter, then just replace the bearing. That said, it may be simpler to just replace the whole thing, as the bearing is in the cage.
When the cage in my car failed, I temporarily shored it up by strapping large, stout zipties around it until I could get a new one in.
I believe, but you'd want to confirm, that the cage part was the same for the entire run, 79-93. Presumably, the bearing was, too, but, again, you'd want to confirm.
