well folks, not sure if im posting this in the correct section.... ive noticed a bit of play in the steering column, say if i grab the wheel at the very top and very bottom and keep pressing on it back and forth theres a bit of play which seems to be around the area where the shaft would be going down through the ignition area, if i do the same from the 2 sides of the wheel theres no play. I removed all the covers and tried to thightin up the bolts around the ignition but they were dead thight, i get a small bit of vibration (well more of a rattle) up through the steering somtimes and i think this might be the cause, but how do i fix it? Is there some sort of a bearing inside or would it just be a case of needing a new shaft? has anyone else expierienced any kind of problems like this? ________________________________________ IF YOU CAN READ THIS IM STILL IN 5TH!!! |

I've the same problem but can't offer any help, just put it down to the height adjustment being worth what it cost to make ________________________________________ This site is my mechanical bible, Thank-you everyone!! |

Yup, two more a little further down which are mounted on rubber washers, might be worth checking those as well.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
