wobbly steering wheel

[chrisvmax]

Hi everyone,
Mk2 Transit, wobbly steering wheel.
I've been told by my neighbour who used to work on Transits that there is a bush at the top (visible if you remove the steering wheel) of the steering stem which is worn and needs replacing.
Firstly, does this sound correct, and if so does anyone know the part number or what it's called so I can order one from Ford (I assume it's a dealer part)


Regards,
Chris

Yup, top bush. They are no longer made for the Mk2, but the early Mk3 (92ish, ask for the earliest on they do) fits fine and does the job.

Actually the last one I bought was from a general parts place, not Ford or even a Ford specialist. I think it was less than £4, but it is an MOT failure to have a badly worn steering column top bush.
