steering column ''bushing''?
Hey guy's , I finally aquired the correct ''spacer'' for the 930S steering wheel in my car and installed it , The only problem is now , the steering wheel is way ''loose'' in that you can move it in a lienear motion ( up & down) , about 3/8 to 1/2 in ?? Before I did spacer , it had no ''play'' , so evidently something ,( a bearing or bushing) let go? after installing spacer. I did not have to remove that big ''nut'' holding the wheel hub on steering shaft , either . Does anyone know what is in there that ''gave up'' , The car is a 1988 930 coupe., with 47 K miles original , however , bigger/ fatter tires , so maybe is why column bushing went out prematurily?? , I looked in Bently manual , and there is no mention of a steering column replaceable bushing/ bearing of any kind? Also , does anyone know where to aquire a new one , and how bad the job is? Does the whole column have to come out , etc, as this really feels taudry now , with all the slop on the nice custom steering wheel and all. thanks , for any advice
