I noted the aftermarket Borgeson half shaft was loose at the steering column on my 1993. It had a 'pop' in the steering that you could feel, but, I could not track down.
Turns out it would jam up tight from torque of turning the wheel and stay tight till you turned the other direction. It would then get loose and tighten on the other side. It was slowly working it's way off the shaft. Managed to catch it, finally, in the loose position. Before it fell all the way off that is.
Both set screws bolts were not loosing up. Rather they were bending the hollow column shaft under the set screws making a channel to slide off.
This design uses two set screws rather than the factory design of a bolt that goes all the way through from one side to the other.
