My steering wheel has been developing a wobble over the past few years, now it's time to do something about it. I've ruled out the steering wheel itself. The steering wheel wobbles up and down. as if it's loose I've heard there's a bearing that's a common item that causes this, but looking at the Pelican Parts site its not clear to me which one.
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca...r_pg2.htm#item9 The above link shows the following parts: Upper steering column bushing repair sleeve Inner steering shaft bearing Upper steering shaft bearing Lower shaft bearing Steering column split ring bushing Pressure spring in sttering shaft Initially I went in to buy a steering bearing now I'm totally confused (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) what do I need to buy? |

before you buy anything make certain all of your nuts and bolts are tight. Check the allens under the dash that hold the column in place. I have seen these present as a bad bearing, but upon inspection found them to be the issue. Also check the hub nut that holds the wheel on. Even when loose it shouldn't allow and slop, but ti the shaft is worn it certainly could. Otherwise the bushing repair sleeve is the next likely piece.It's just a thin pice of metal that wears over time
