steering column bush?

Space_1999 · 7th December 2008, 22:20

Has anyone replaced the steering column bush on their 75? My steering wheel is going up and down and/or forward and backward very slightly - so I assume this needs changing. Anyone have a time for this procedure and/or a part number for the bush? thanks, David

At the top, it's a bearing, not a bush. I can see the balls in the top of the scrap one in the garage.

Of course the problem might be further down the shaft, and that could be a bush.
