karl1 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I have a lot of play in my steering wheel? When the bonnet is opened and one looks down to the steering shaft where it enters the cars bulkhead thats where the play is. There are two rubber bushes and just below them the UJ joint. It seems as if something has gone adrift on my steering or something is very badly worn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Mk1 or Mk2? There is a bush where the column passes through the bulkhead that breaks up. And is a right git to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl1 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Its a Mk2 oh just my luck then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Not luck, just old age 😆 Not too bad to replace although you'll need to disconnect the u/j securing bolt and pull the column up enough to replace the bush. Getting the splines lined up is the hardest job to do if you're working on your own. I've done a couple though without any major drama. Tony.

RobPearce Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yep, had that fail on my PI back in the day. It's awkward and time consuming but definitely possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl1 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thanks Tony and Rob. I think I will skip on that for now and do the other jobs first.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
