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

I made a bushing spacer out of steel pipe couplers from Home Depot. Worked like a charm. In m case the bushing kept working free, so it just needed a simple spacer to hold it in place.
