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 |

Pack a lunch, 'cause that bearing's a b@*%$ to remove. Instead, I use the 928 sleeve to fix the problem. 10-15 bucks, 5 minutes, problem solved. Take a look in there. The bearing has a plastic sleeve built in, and that sleeve deteriorates and comes apart, leaving a gap. Clear the debris with a paper clip, remove the circlip from the shaft, push the sleeve into place using gentle persuasion with a dowel, a punch, or a piece of plastic pipe, and reinstall the circlip. Done!
