I just replaced the bearings within the steering column assembly and thought you all would like the write-up. (lots of photos)
my web site page It was easy and straight forward. Now the steering wheel doesn't flop around! Wes Vann |

Wes,
Nice write up. I found my problem to be in the aluminum (die cast) housing. The outside of the bearing wore the aluminum bearing bore just enough to create some slop in the steering wheel. I saw no way to fix this short of boring a larger hole and pressing in a bushing, but that gets complicated with the snap ring groove, limited available material to machine, etc. Andys |
