have read for the first time about this improvement. the benefits are:
- better and more direct steering feel
- no abnormal play
- no plastic shit
most genuine steering column bearings (plastic) are as old as the car so it were a nice improvement even for MOT. you will never have any abnormal play in the column anymore.

Has anyone done this improvement with the UCFL205 already?
