Have an early single stalk column and there is some play in the shaft right behind the steering wheel. Up/ down and side to side. It’s not major but a little annoying. Looking at the parts catalog it seems I’m looking at a plastic bushing. I’m sure the P.O. replaced it but thinking I maybe it can be shimmed or to print a new part.
In preparation for fixing it- what’s does this thing look like? It’s NLA according to the bird…. Pete |

Have had little problem with play in the early steering shafts. We HAVE the factory bearings, but maybe check the tightness of all of the mounting bolts

Thanks. the bottom bolts are tight. Is it a bearing in the shaft or a bushing? PET describes it as a bushing....

Is it rotational play or side to side slop? If side to side, there is a plastic bushing in there if I'm recalling correctly. I may be mixing up early 911 and 914 steering columns, but I believe both have the bushing. Some replace the plastic with a metal version, a 928 part number I believe.
