914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Question on steering parts

Posted by: Doug Leggins Jun 11 2004, 10:22 PM

I am gathering all of the suspension parts to install tomorrow. I seem to be missing some small steering parts. I have looked in every box of parts that I have and cannot find the parts. I do not know exactly what the parts look like. the car that i am building was disassembled when i bought it. I stripped 3 cars recently but did not take apart this area of the steering - that sucks! I did take pics but lost the pics when my hard drive crashed earlier this year - AARRRRGH!!!

I am missing number 19,21 and 23 in the diagram. 19-steering shaft bearing, 21-rubber bushing, 23-seal.

Anyone have pics of the parts? Maybe I have the parts but just do not recognize them.

Any chance that these are common VW parts and that i can get them at the local bug shop?

Local salvage yard did have 2 914s. Good idea to try to get the parts from a salvage yard?

Any help is much appreciated. - Thanks.

Diagram to follow if I can get it to work.

It worked! It worked!!!

It took me 4 attempts to finally get the diagram to post.

Here is the steering pieces i have gathered so far.

yes, you're definately missing the rubber "spacer" that goes around the steering shaft where it passes through the firewall!

you'll need it ...

A quick trip to the salvage yard and I got the parts. Looks like 19 and 21 are a bearing/bushing assembly.

Off to do the assembly process....

This pic shows the bearing inside the bushing.

Gonna use this shaft too. It looks to be in much better condition than the one that I had.
