I just took apart the steering wheel on my 75 1.8, because there is way too much play from side to side and top to bottom. The steering wheel moves about a half inch in any direction. As I took it apart I gathered what seem to be disintegrated parts of an old bearing, or something else, I don’t know, the image is attached. From what I could tell everything looked normal (I am a new 914 owner and new to old cars in general though, so I don’t really know what to look for.) Has anyone had this problem before? What is the disintegrated stuff?

That’s a common problem on 75-76 914’s. The inside of the plastic bearing disintegrates. The quick fix versus a new bearing was to cram this sleeve down the inside of the bearing. They used to make one for the 914, I can’t find it. It looks like this one. https://www.stoddard.com/92834773902.html.html
