![]() When I took the steering wheel off the car the other day (was going to install a Momo Prototipo wheel) the steering shaft bearing assembly has apparently failed (ball bearings "loose" and several missing). When this part is new is it all contained (meaning the small ball bearings are not "loose"? Next question "is there any sort of upgrade that eliminates this part and replaces it with a poly bushing similar to the replacement part on the newer 911 steering column"? The attached picture shows the failed part as #6 (I know 914-6 parts are expensive but WOW this bearing is +/- $250.00). Thanks, |

Thanks, I would be surprised if this part is any different on a 4 than a six... If you are really on a tight budget, place a WTB in the classifieds... I am sure someone can pull one off a parts car... The other option is to see if this is a common bearing and try to buy one from paccar once you figure out what other cars this bearing fits - This is the first time I have heard of such a failure in 15 years of being familar with these cars - |
