steering wheel motion
have 65 with side to side motion in steering column...have had the steering wheel off and all i find is a cone shaped sleeve... is there a bearing or something that SHOULD be there? it's the one piece steering shaft from the box to the steering wheel....any help? don

RE: steering wheel motion
Do you have an aftermarket steering wheel? When I put on my Grant, I got the same motion you are describing. There IS a bearing in the column (or it could be a sleeve, did not examine it enough, either way it was allowing the shaft movement from side to side), and mine had worked its way up the shaft. I fabricated a small spacer to span the gap between the bearing and the wheel hub, and problem solved for me.

RE: steering wheel motion

Hey Guys,
Had the same problem with my GRANT wheel,... I found that using the Cone shaped spacer and the Big Spring (Both Original Parts, I believe) Solved my Problem>>>> see attachment:
It was a little tricky getting everything together with the spring trying to push it all back off,... But The spring pushes the coned spacer deeper onto the shaft, hence taking up the space that causes the movement in the wheel,... Mine is really snug now! Good Luck!
