I have just dismantled a spare steering column I acquired some time ago.
I think something must be bent. Seems to be sticking in the lower bush.
I can turn the inner column all around applying considerable force to a spanner on the wheel nut, however, in one small area it is free for about 10 degrees of movement.
Is it possible to ease this by reaming out the outer column lower bush?
That appears to be where it’s sticking.
Plan was to take out the free play in the worm gear using the valve paste technique then replace my current steering gear.
Any advice greatly accepted.
