Hi

My Steering column top bush/bearing is knackered, and i beleive, the column is Ford fiesta mk1-2
i can not remember!! and my reciepts etc, dont help

I do have the octogon steering wheel alignmet, and the main shaft is about 19mm

can any one help ?

if not, ive taken measurements, so could possibly replicate somthing in bronze, if i had a lathe

So if any one wants to knock one up, beer tokens available, drawings available

Is this a thin walled tube type of thing or a large bush for entire column to pass through? We are on holiday this week but could have a look at it next week if it isn't urgent.

Its a thin ball bearing/roller type bearing, with a metal cage that centralizes it
