Seems unlikely, as there's not a lot down there to impede movement. If the bellows at the floorboard is still intact, make sure it's still nice and flexible. Under the hood, the steering column hinges on the rag joint, which is just a piece of rubber sandwiched between two cast iron tangs. If yours is original, it could have solidified over the years. (Though normally, they get oil soaked and disintegrate.)
