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 just replaced the bushing about a month ago when the plastic part finally gave way, ordered the new one from dealer here , and I have to say its perfect tight fit with no play whatsoever - not every one needs that sleave- that was essentially designed to be a fix if you didn't want to pull the whole bearing out , you could put that on and slide it down in taking up the slop caused by the failing of the inner plastic part- - anyway I doubt if you actually replace the bearing with a new one that you will need the sleave, I did not.
