Espen,
I was talking about the black metal collar just above that white trim piece. That particular part doesn't look like any tilt column part I have ever worked on!
Your turn signal switch needs to be replaced if it is not centering properly. This is a common part easily found on Ebay. However, look at the wiring section and see if there are the remains of a Ford partnumber on a sticky tag somewhere....and we can figure out which switch it is! It may be missing some internal springs.....possibly could be put back in....
As for the steering wheel being loose, it probably isn't the collapsible section that is bad, but due to the large extension on that steering wheel to move it closer to the driver, I would say that the castings in the top have become worn...... That is my guess from working on these columns for 20 years or so! The knuckle in the center shaft also can loosen up too causing radial play in the shaft.
