Default replace steering bearing "UCFL205"

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?

loose the steering U-joint

Done the same to my focus but mines a two piece clamped sealed bearing

Great upgrade and used in loads of motorsport cars
