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.

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?

Repair bushing replaces the plastic center of the upper bearing which tends to disintegrate before the bearing wears out.

The repair bushing does not work on the 70 - 71 column which uses a different type upper bearing.
