Steering Wheel Rattle

Hello Everyone,

Please view attached video of my steering wheel which has developed some looseness. Source of the problem appears to be at the wheel to steering column connection. Has no effect on steering.
Car recently made it to 250,000 miles. Is there a bushing or part that can be replaced or is this a major production?

Maybe the bolts are not all the way tight at number 4 and 5?

When people drop the racks on Gen 1 and Gen 2 MINI to work on the subframe they dont tighten back up the column all the way and you get some play.
