Something has changed on the steering wheel tilt on my M5-111. Previously I could press the tilt steering foot release and the steering wheel was balanced would and would somewhat float up and down. Now I press the foot release and the steering wheel immediately drops down to the lowest position.

This is not a "show stopper" but it's aggravating. I didn't realize how often I'm moving the tilt steering up and down.

I suspect it's either a spring or cylinder involved. Would anyone know or would you have access to diagram?

I figured it out. After taking the panel off under the steering wheel, I found a small cylinder that resist steering wheel tilt movement either way. The nut came off between it and the steering column. All is well.
