Default CJ Steering loose

Hi Guys my Auto 1979 cj 7 steering column is loose and moves left to right.I think there are 4 bolts in the bottom of the column from memory last time this happen I welded up a crack in the plate they screw into I think.So I am going to strip it down and have a look.Does any one have a old steering auto column they want to sell or know of a source of parts that I could try.I use this jeep daily so ideally swapping a replacement in would be good till i can get it sorted
thanks

You can get a kit with the known wear parts for around $20

Post a picture of the damage. I have seen the end of a column repaired once.
Would need to see if this is the same>
