Movement In Steering Column


Davo

Recommended Posts

Hi all, my Robin Hood sierra donor seems to have play in the steering column. As I look down the column I can see the metal rod with a round piece before it goes through a hole exiting the footwell. It's as it goes through this hole that there seems to be excessive play. I've only recently been given the car and got it into my garage in Bournemouth. I'm just trying to eliminate the obvious problems before attempting an mot. I'm fairly new to mechanics so don't have a huge amount of skill or experience. Any help appreciated.

There is a ball race used for this problem -- believe its original purpose was axle bearing for go-carts. Some-one will be along shortly with the part number no doubt,

 

Give me a shout if you're up for a meet/drive when your new toy is on the road .
