after changing mine last night I thought I'd give you an idea of how bad they can get.



they only cost about £5 for all of them as well, plus one of mine was actually missing

if you can grab the wheel and move it up and down chances are yours is knackered too

It took me about an hour in total to change mine, surprised how easy it was

 

i gotta do mine while the car is stripped

 

wes mate could ya list the part numbers you need to replace mate as ive got the whole collum and pedal box out of mine so its the ideal time, of you could just label em on this pic?
cheers mark.

 

dude I'll drop you a PM in a sec cos from that pic it looks like I'm missing a few more bits

 

Likewise if you could let me know which parts need to be changed and the part numbers for them that would be very helpfull.

Cheers

 

me to mine isnt to bad bad for the price it costs illprobably change um

 

mine came from deflex,but were only the bracket bushes,not internals. bastard to wedge in with everything on the car.

 

a quick search and I found this

14 - 6147075

5 - 6147076

6 - 6122425

7 - 6184571

8 - 6133626

9 - 6130997

10 - 6131317

the 4 main ones to replace are in bold

 

I'm missing the most important one by the look of it, number 10

 

mine were a little worse then the picture at the top of the thread... the steering wheel actully locked up due to the fact that the bush completely collapsed.

when it did collapse i was doing 70mph approaching a round about while eating a twister ice cream at about 2 am , the car wouldnt turn so i shit myself hit the brakes locked up and went across the round about side ways.

when the dust settled there were a load of young lads walking across the road.. they all gave me a round of applause for the spectacular spin.

ford did say 1 of the bushes were obsolite... but i managed to get second hand ones ok, once u change them the car drives like brand new.

 

oh ignore number 6 people I've just realised thats the spring, if thats missing your proper fucked

 

it was either 7 8 or 9 that was no longer available and that was in the summer

 

can anyone post a step by step pic up of these being fitted?

Just got all mine say here with that diagram from above and I haven't got a clue how they all go together lol

 

did you just get the ones in bold mate?, i havent got a clue how they go together, might be worth putting a post up in general pointing to this one.
cheers mark.

 

thats the ones I bought yeah, but just taken mine apart again and it looks like I'm missing number 10...

I'll try and take a trip up to a scrappy 2moro and get some pics of how it goes together

 

number 10 is on the bulk head mate where the steering colume disappeares through the bulk head.

 

I was going to say, its a rubber gaitor isnt it?

 

ah right so I'm not missing it then

thank fook for that

I think I've figured out how they go together from that pic now...

 

looks about how i done mine but i didnt replace all just broken so got take it all apart again

 

ask deflex if they do em!

 

yep thats right, i also put a smear of grease on the bushs

 

I haven't replaced mine cos they were fine, but i had the dash out so the column had to come out, and i too greased mine, good practice

 

Moondust_crust where did ya get ya parts diagram from?

 

old pic i had on my pc mate, found it so thought id put it up.
wish i had microcat though
cheers mark.

 

greasy bush

 

YOU AGAIN

 

aye,wotcha! any more takers for the "cokinand society!"???

been bangin me balls tryin to get members! unchballs:

so been learning loadsa stuff,to spill on here and become a bigger wanka!

 

any chance of making this a sticky as it would be handy for other people, save people asking the same questions.

 

Bloody hell, im missing bush number 9, no wonder my steering feels like piss. Might as well be steering the car that pulls up next to me with the feel i get from the steering in my car! Nice one mate!

 

might get sticky if you join the wankstas!

 

nice one for the info lads, my s/wheel moves up and down and i know it will fail the MOT so im stripping it out in the next few days and gettin the 4 main bushes for the rack and hopefully that will cure the problem,


i guess those part numbers are main dealer part numbers ???

what sort of price are they then ??

do u recon there will be a problem in sourcing them now or not ?

no your probably not missing number 9, thats the one that goes in the rubber gator in the bulkhead

I broke the new bush in my first post when tightening up the steering wheel bolt cos it wasn't sitting in the bottom of the tube straight so be careful...
