F355GTS Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 My car seems to have lots, I can't see what is supposed to stop the play between the the shaft and the tube that it goes into, at the moment I have around 4mm of play which can't be right? any ideas, I assume a bush or something is missing Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberts Wallet Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Mark, I had this trouble or something like it. There is a bush just behind the steering wheel which can be replaced. Only a few quid from caterham. Blue and Carbon Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 There are 2 bushes where shaft passes through the chassis , one at the top and one at the bottom , you may have damaged or removed one of the nylon sleeves on the bushes when removing the shaft ? . The top one is easy to do , the bottom one is a complete pain . Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruff seven Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 the top bush does wear quickley, but also check, steering wheel boss they wear as well ie; racetech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wag Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 The nylon in these bushes seems to wear. Mine started tight and now has irritating play after 7000miles. I wonder if brass would be better. Would it help to polish the column at the bush location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
