74 914. The steering column shaft has typical slop in it. The previous owner installed the metal "crush bushing" but there is still up and down slop in the shaft. The column is attached firmly. What next? Do I need a new steering column bearing that crush bushing slides into? If so what is the part number. Anything else that can cause this? Thanx L

The center crush bushing is ONLY a replacement for the plastic bushing that fails in the 74-76 columns. It has nothing to do with the upper and lower bearings in the column that fail from people grabbing the steering wheel getting in and out.
Do some shopping around for the bearings. There was a seller on ebay selling both for less than $60 shipped. I got the upper bearing and removed the plastic collar and used a 73 metal bushing for the upper. |
