i installed the replacement metal 928 sleeve as a protective measure. i wish i hadnt. i dont detect any "damage" to the shaft itself but, my sterring wheel is now a little loose. hard to measure it but it probably moves a few centimeters up and down - not in and out. its very very annoying because i now also get a little vibration through the steering wheel when i hit bumps or rough road.

if your original bearing is still ok - i would suggest using the sleeve ONLY when the original one falls apart

Seems to me the sleeve is engineered slightly too thin. its obviously better than driving around with a crumbled bearing - but, if it aint broke i wouldnt fix it. too late for me now
