JP Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'm just building up the steering and realised that I think need 2 bushes, not one. A) Is that right; and B) are both bushes the same?Am I also right in thinking that the lower bush locates in the holes in the tube as in the pic below?

ChrisC Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 They are both the same but and you need two. The plastic insert can be put round the "wrong" way, not that it alters the functionality, but makes it easy to push into the bracket shown during install, and making it impossible to remove without removing the bush.

JP Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thanks, Chris - I've just looked at your blog and I now understand the "wrong" fitting orientation. Many thanks.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Also - if you have the non removable steering wheel, the column has to go in first before the upper bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 While you’ve got the bushes out, it worth popping out the inner sleeve, then securing it with a blob of superglue/ epoxy in the Bush. They can slip out, leading to small amount of play in the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
