I have a 3.2 conversion project that's getting a 911 steering column for the key-on-the-left. Well this column we got didn't have the upper steering bearing and new replacements are $260. I was able to find something that will work for much less. Wondering if there is any interest in putting together some kits to sell.
These are not for 914/4 key on the right columns. It's a drop in replacement and should only take a few minutes to install. If there's interest I'll sell the first two at a steep discount as long as they get installed soon so I can confirm there are no installation issues or small variances from car to car. |

Yes, since I bought mine several years ago, I have had more movement in mine than I like.
If replacing the OE upper steering bearing doesn't fix it, then I wonder what that bearing is for? What is it "bearing" against? I only considered going the OE route because I thought it a better solution for me since there is no shim fitting needed and I really have no access to an metal other than what I can buy at the local hardware store. McMark replied to my post this morning 1st thing and got back to me with the price, so kudos to McMark for speed! |
