Yo Gerrad,
Here is some info until others can give you 1st hand info.
Look under column and ensure the 2 support bracket bolts are tight to 25 ft. lbs.
In following info, I inserted an * that could be related to your issues.
Turn Signal Switch Replacement & Repair Info w/Tilt Wheel in an 89; "...The white plastic that takes up half the column is the turn signal switch. The red box in the top right is the steering wheel lock. When you turn the key, it goes down. The switch is only held down by *two screws. One where my ***** driver is, and another, same spot, on the bottom. When I removed by wheel, I saw my top ***** sitting at the bottom of the column. Once I put the ***** back in and tightened them both up, everything was fine. The switch now stays in place, and the lever is now able to push the tilt bar backwards, releasing the wheel. I didn't have to replace my switch, but you see how easy it is now if you must do it. I thought about it - everything's off right now...spend 30 bucks and never think about this again... But then again it took me 10 minutes to get to the switch - I'll save my 30 and go drop it at poker. Check out last photo... If your turn signal does not snap back after turning, read on. Wanted to quickly explain how that works. When you lit the lever, the switch locks in place (green box in pic). There is a little ring around the steering shaft. As you turn, that ring rotates around the shaft until a little block on the ring hits an arm (red box) and the arm releases the lock. When my whole switch was loose, it moved the ring up the shaft a bit, and the little block wasn't hitting the arm. If your lever doesn't snap back after a turn, either the ring moved up, or the *plastic lever and/or arm on the switch broke..." by Brahma502 at

"... a broken plastic part on the turn signal cam. Common problem.
Unscrew/remove the turn signal/tilt lever, pull the steering wheel (you may need a steering wheel puller) and remove the turn signal switch screws.
The turn signal switch harness is a very* tight fit through the steering column to the connector under the dash, especially with the harness connector attached.
First, look closely at the new signal harness connector at the end of the new harness and write down the wire color locations. Ensure that the new connector is the same as the old one.
Locate the base of the signal harness connector under the dash by pulling on the top from the signal switch. Be sure that you locate the correct wires!!!
Then I just cut the wires on the old signal cam harness before the old connector and pulled it out from the top of the column.
Un-pin the wires from the new connector and tape/feed the wires back down through the column.
Re-pin the new connector, referencing the old one, and reconnect to the main harness.
Re-install the turn signal switch, steering wheel and turn signal lever and your done.
I highly recommend a new Ford Turn Signal Switch & Harness for longevity and especially "feel". (Aftermarket Turn Signal Switches break easily and feel "funny")."
