Steering Column Bush


Delberts Wallet

Recommended Posts

Recently change the upper column bush but there is still quite a lot of play (he reason I changed it in the first place) from side to side/up and down.

 

I'm thinking that the column may have worn as the old bush used to be quite tight and sqeak before it became loose

 

How much play should there be (if any) and could a tight bush 😳 wear out the column 🤔

Gareth,

 

My assembly guide (1999 1.8K) says "the upper bush should be a close, but not overtight, fit onto the column", and that the column "may need polishing with fine wet and dry paper in order to ensure free movement". It doesn't specify any actual clearances though.
