Fesour Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am noticing some play with the steering wheel - moving up and down a bit. I've checked the steering wheel adjustment clamp, but that seems very tight, so I'm wondering whether I need to replace the steering column support bush? Does that make sense?

Fesour Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks Colin, I'll do that......I'm changing all the hoses today. I got the car a few weeks ago and the other day the fan belt went, which made me think it's good idea to replace all the perishables! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
