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

its a shitty picture, but you can see it here. Its a sleeve that slips over the steering shaft and rests against the bushing. Its enough to hold everyhting in place. IIRC, I just took measurements of my steering shaft and took a pair of calipers to Hope Despot and took ID measurements till I found something that worked. It was just a pipe coupler from the plumbing section. Copper, not steel as I said earlier. Zach |
