Click to view attachmentWhen I took the steering wheel off the car the other day (was going to install a Momo Prototipo wheel) the steering shaft bearing assembly has apparently failed (ball bearings "loose" and several missing).
When this part is new is it all contained (meaning the small ball bearings are not "loose"? Next question "is there any sort of upgrade that eliminates this part and replaces it with a poly bushing similar to the replacement part on the newer 911 steering column"?
The attached picture shows the failed part as #6 (I know 914-6 parts are expensive but WOW this bearing is +/- $250.00).
Thanks,
