Default Steering Column Lower Bush

Mines popped out so I have got up and down and all around slop.

How difficult is it to change the bush?? Do you have to take the rack out etc?


Any advice comments recieved with thanks in advance

if it's anything like the sierra then it's a 15 minute job with one bolt that needs to be undone and a bit of a struggle with a screwdriver

As said if same as sierra easy, there should be a clip on the shaft that holds the centre section of the bush down anyway, I've managed to do some just by sliding the shaft up the column after disconnecting then put bush in etc slide back down, then shove clip down to locate job done.

Sorted - wheres best to get a new one (if they are still available?)

Or would a Sierra/Granny one do the job?

sierra/granny ones are all the same
from ford they are about £4 for all 5 parts:
the inner bush that goes on the column
the outer bush that sits in the rubber grommet
the rubber grommet
the metal slider to hold it in position
the metal cap that cover the bush to stop the heat/grime/stones/general raod muck getting to it
