You'll be pleased to hear that the bush is not sold separately but comes a part of the whole column, a bargain @ £208.85

lol..
I will leave it and see what the MOT says I think.. The upper slip ring is not in the car, wonder if that will help settle things down a bit...

Re: upper column bearing - xant
if its like a BX one the lower bush drops out of the columb tube,
the fix for that is push the bush back in then tap the bottom edge of the tube over in 2 or 3 place's to stop it droping back out,

Re: upper column bearing - xant
would the lower bush have any bearing on upper column movement Mal?
Re: upper column bearing - xant
i belive it can do John
if the lower bush has droped out of place the columb shaft will wagle at the bottom which can give the impresion the top is moveing about,

Re: upper column bearing - xant
This wearing of the bush could be caused by being stuck in traffic jams and gripping the wheel while rocking it violently in frustration
Is there any way of fitting a generic bush?..........that sounded like some kind of gardening question
