Since I'm home and looking to keep busy, I decided to tackle a long dreaded repair to the excessive movement in my steering column.
On Friday I finally got it done. A job that I thought was going to be a nightmare turned out not so bad after all.
I left the old bushings in place and installed new delrin bushings on the top and bottom of the steering shaft.
No more squeaks, no more movement.
The part I found most difficult was the removal and reinstalling of the turn signal cancelling clip.
