Steering wheel wobble - fix?
I have a '67 C-10 with PS and Grant steering wheel installed by the PO. You can move the steering wheel side to side/ up to down on the stock (non-tilt) column. The wheel is tight on the shaft, but it looks like the shaft is sloppy in the column.
I looked on a few parts suppliers on the board, but only found replacement parts for the tilt columns. Anyone know where I can get the (bushing/bearing?) for the upper part of the column; assuming that's what the problem is? Thanks, |
I've got one but the shipping would be more than you could purchase one locally. If you can not find one, pm me and I give you one for the cost of UPS. But you should be able to find one...Kelly

Check the spring at the bottom end of your column, there is a spring about an inch long that tensions the column shaft. Yours may be weak or broken.

You can get the bearing from your local Chevy dealer. I don't have the part number, we tossed the bag when we fixed the kid's column.

I replaced the upper steering colum bearing on mine for the same reason, and it made no difference at all with the side to side & up and down play. Interesting what Jeepster376 says about the broken or tired spring at the bottom of the column I'll have to look into mine as well, (great tip). Doug
