Steering Bush

[st3v3nw]

As i have been moving my car in and out the garage i have noticed the steering column had a lot of left - right play in it.

 

turns out the play is cming from the rubber bush mounted just behind the footwell. I remember i fitted a brand new one that came with the kit and upon further inspection it looks to be fitted right. there is a big rubber grommet, then the spindle slots into that with a circular poiece of plastic between the two. finally a clip to stop it moving up the shaft.

 

I have drawn a quick pic showing the expanded version.

 

but the hole in te grommet is a lot larger than the insert bush. this is causing loads of play.

 

any ideas?

 

 

thanks

Hi,

I'd recommend the 'Mod'. Quite a few of us have done this recently.

Do a search on here and you should find it.

i would be interested in 2 bearings at the right price..

 

my office is only about 10 mins from revolution bearings

 

so could pop in and pick them up and send out,

 

or do they post direct on multi buys..

 

cheers gavin

Hi Andy,

 

Count me in. I'm in Ramsgate and pop over to the outlet semi-frequently, so could collect.
