mine came loose before .....there were two bolts in the colume that were responcable.........on the turn signil side.... one on the bottem and one behind the turn signal switch..........you'll have to take the plastic cover off and the turn sinal switch off to get to them...........thats where mine came loose

If it just recently came loose you may have broken the tilt column. Mine cracked and it felt like it had came loose, either way, take the cover off and inspect it.
