loose steering column bearings after tightening tilt assembly bolts

I spent the last 6 hours messing with my 90 cherokee's steering column.. got it back together, now the bearings are loose. I can push down on the top-most bearing race and get it to stay tight briefly. Basically the bearing race directly behind the spring/cup assembly that's held down by that awful snap ring.

the spring cup seems to be riding on a shoulder on the shaft, so it can't put any pressure on the bearing . I'm guessing there has to be something missing right there....

So am i just missing some kind of bearing retainer? does anyone have a really good diagram of the column?
