Default stearing wheel question?

I have a three spoke wheel, the front part is loose and moves around a bit.. is there anyway to tighten it? i can feel two screws on the back will that do the trick?

The two T30 torx screws behind the wheel are for the air bag, if you remove those and pull the air bag forward you will see a very large triple square bolt 12mm i think that holds the wheel to the column.

Well check the torque on the bolts, it could very well be the airbag. It wouldn't be the first time one has come loose.
