I had the same problem so I bought a new bearing. Turns out there are mounting tabs welded to the column in there that those bolts you tried to tighten go through that were broken. Pull it apart and inspect it before you spend money on any bushings, sleeves or bearings.

It's been like 20 years since I fixed mine, but if I remember correctly there is diferences between early and late. My wheel was also sloppy on my 75 and I also bought the steel steering column sleeve from Automotion. They still sell it for $14.99. I was able to just slide it in after removing the wheel and blinker assemblys. I haven't had a problem since. I also noticed the steering column bearing in the latest automotion catalog says 73-76. Is there a diference in the 72 and older columns?
