Saxo steering coloumn

[Jonathancilia]

Hi, my saxo steering is moving up and down and has a slight play in it. Its play in the steering coloumn shaft where the steering attaches. No play at the steering coloumn joints. Any idea if you can still buy a new one? Because i can only find used.

Check the tightness of the column to steering rack pinch bolt.

[Jonathancilia]

Its tight, the movement is at the part where the steering attaches. Is there a bushing inside the coloumn shaft that i can replace? Because i cannot find any diagrams on how the part is inside

Not looking good im afraid every variation i checked is showing no longer available from the factory.
Citroen never listed the bearing separately. If you can remove the bearing you may be able to identify it.

[Jonathancilia]

Oh, so there is a bearing inside?

[wheeler]

Normally yes, either a bearing or a bush.

[Jonathancilia]

Ill remove the steering wheel when i get a chance and inspect further. Thanks

It's certainly not a common fault on the Saxo so i would imagine you would be ok with a used column.

Went outside and quickly removed airbag and steering wheel, there seems to be a rubber like bushing on the coloumn shaft. I think i will opt with a used coloumn like you say seems easiest fix for me.
