Hi Everyone.
Just completing a rebuild of a BJ8 Dash and Trafficator. While testing the steering wheel, I noticed quite a groaning noise upon moving the steering wheel back and forth.
The noise does not appear to be from the steering box which I just adjusted, but rather higher up the column near the clamp bolt that holds the column under the dash. I removed the dust cap that seats the small end of the adjustable wheel's dust cover. Under this it appears that there is a felt bush. I don't think I want to stick oil down there to eliminate the problem.
Is it possible that I have over tightened the steering column clamp? Can that felt bush be removed without dismantling the whole column? Any other tricks in Healey land for the groaning wheel?
