How to fix the steering wobble, perhaps fabricating longer tube off existing column. 2. What is used to secure the gas pedal line on metal plate (not zip ties as I have shown).

Replace bushing and reinstall. I would do both upper and lower at same time. Edited August 9, 2022 by richard h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probable even a local nut and bolt supplier would have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called Grant and found that the shaft wears in where the bushings are. So replacing the bushings alone may not fix it. Grant said to pull it apart, clean it all up and put one wrap of electrical tape on the bushing and press it back in. I havent gotten around to do it yet but its on my to do list.

Correct , If the shaft is not worn we can machine a new bushing Just make sure the bushing is not to tight or it will feel like no powersteering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
