I installed my new Meyle key switch last night and that reminded me that I have a steering wheel wobble. The play is up and down, not side to side. check out the video.
Should I buy a sleeve or a bearing for my 75? maybe both? BTW the new German made $8 switch fires the car right up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) It fit very tightly so I assume it will last. The one I took out had "GERMANY" on it. Not sure if it is from the PO or the factory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD4V040AZQE |

the column where the bearing is can get wobbled out from hanging on to the wheel getting in and out so the bearing fits loose. I used some aluminum foil to shim the bearing in tight.

I used some aluminum foil to shim the bearing in tight. Yup. That is the next culprit. See, if the bearing were loose then the shaft of the wheel would move in all directions. So, a bushing will not fix up and down only. Depending on how bad the collar is worn out, foil can help, and make sure it is a tight fit or you will be right back there messing with it again. Last time I messed with this problem I documented it and posted the pics up. I also gave up and went with another collar. |

So what are you calling the collar? would that be the aluminum piece that the ignition switch and key tumblers fit into? it is held on with one larger allen bolt. The large un numbered piece above? |
