Hi guys. Car failed MOT today on excessive movement at steering wheel. Basically the steering wheel moves slighly around on the column. I thought they were all like this as it is hardly any at all but it failed none the less. What would this be down to? Any favourite/traditional bits to check etc.

Thanks guys

 

There are i think two bushes in the colum they might be fucked

 

where abouts are the bushes? Thanks

 

I think there is one at the top of the column im not 100% sure as ive never done one they very rarely go it's a felt bush and i dont know if you can still get them

 

cos bloody mic LOL

 

There's a thread on it in here somewhere, but the search function isn't finding it.

Anyone added it to their 'favourites' file for reference? Also a lad on RSOC asking about this so would be good for him too

 

Mine was the same,you need to change all 4 steering column bushes.About Ł10 from FORD.Heres some pics of when i did mine.In one of the pics,you can see the difference between the OLD ones and the NEW ones.Pretty easy to do as well.





Tjhe other bush not pictured goes on the top first.Put a post up on here and someone should give you the FIN CODES for them.

 

go to my MOT place

she passed anyway. I just blagged it said I changed the bearing and all mk4's are the same. He said ok no problem lol.

Its actually the whiteplastic bit that goes in the top of the sleeve. It has split. Thanks for your help guys. appreciated
