Have just fitted my new top dash, but noticed that the steering wheel had a fair amount of side to side play! noticed the shaft at the base was moving a fair amount through the bulkhead!

Is this a common thing, are there bushes that need changing on these parts? anyone else had this and cured it?

Any help would be appreciatted!

 

BTTT

 

Nick i must say i havent noticed any wheel movment on mine, can check it out for you tomorrow if you dont get another reply though.

What are you doing with your old dash? Mines really badly cracked and warped so am after a better one.

 

in the lower column mat e there is a pair of bushes and a sleeve, no longer available from ford, but plenty ful on eby mate, takes about 15mins to change.

 

Thanks guys will check fleebay see if I cant get a hold of some!

sorry mate the dash was to bad so will be heading for the bucket! I managed to break the mounting for the drivers vent when I removed it as well where the switches are mounted! so cracked and broken, otherwise there would not have been a problem!

 

OK Nick thanks anyway
