upk Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Guys, just ready to fit my steering column but can't remember if there is a spring or something helping retain the lower bearing? If anybody can take a photo of the steering column to UJ in the engine bay it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantasrme Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The lower bearing spring dimensions of a second hand one I have here are: free length of 36mm outside diameter of 24mm Thickness of steel 2mm and is 4 1/4 coils in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upk Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks guys, I have the right spring and worked out where I was going wrong see photo. The steering shaft was extended out giving me the problem of too arge a gap. Eventually remembered and slid it back into the column so I know where I am going now. Just a bit cleaning and painting needed first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
