Movement in steering column

As it says. Its at top end. Is this the usual rebushing job? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Are bushes still available? Can't find anything on a search.
Thanks

have you changed the steering wheel?
its most likely the bushing at the top, can show symtoms of this if wrong wheel ( or horn ring) fitted......
