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?

the "UCFL205" bearing with grease nipple




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
