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

QUOTE(Krieger @ Aug 17 2017, 09:42 AM)  Dang, look at the remnants of the worn out parts below the steering shaft! yep it was shot!, the bearing itself I guess was ok, the plastic inner race was in pieces, - I was ignoring a bit of play that I had for a while, as I don't drive the car that much, I was on my way to the Cars and Coffee and hit a pot hole and the steering jerked and I suddenly had a huge amount of play in every direction and you can see why!- ordered the bearing that morning and put it in the next weekend.- Just have to be careful when taking the steering apart , keep track of the screws , and disconnect the water lines from the spray bottle, etc- there is a thread somewhere on the step by step- but it was pretty straight forward. you see some metal shavings there from the edge of the outer column housing, it chipped off a bit as I took the retaining clip out. I was worried that the clip might not stay in the groove due to that but so far so good- it went in good and tight. Phil |
