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

Do you grease/lube the shaft when installing the Bearing ? Jim, after cleaning it up I put a very small bit of lube but I don't think It would be necessary- just make sure you use the correct size of a socket that will slide over the shaft and can tap the inner race of the bearing to slide it into place.
