Simoneg Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Suspect this will need renewing for the MOT (advisory issued last year). Anyone know if this can be done without removing the outer column from the car? Last time I renewed this horrid little part the column was already dismantled and even so it was a sod to get the old bush out. This one seems to be a looser fit so I'm wondering if it might be possible to hook it out from the top, with just the inner column removed. Presence of a steering lock (late 1360) complicates removal of the whole column, unfortunately. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 drill off the location lugs and soap the new one to lubricate the fitting and push old bush down the tube with the new one easy ish Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Nobody ever seems to remove the old ones; I know people with half a dozen bushes down the shaft.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6 M Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Simon, check the bottom pinch bolt first,the one by the rack , on the joint,if this comes loose, then it will cause the coluum to move aboot a fair bit, regards Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoneg Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Car has just passed its test with the original bush still fitted and no advisories this time! Many thanks for the helpful replies. I will push a new steering bush in soon anyway. Reckon there is space for about 8 of them before they get down to the level of the steering lock!
