This is possibly a stupid question, but -
I acquired an apparently sound steering column I intend to fit to my car - common sense suggests I should give it a once-over first for safety's sake - can anyone suggest what I should be looking for?
Obviously:
- loose fixings
- presence of clean~ish grease
- cracks
- excessive play or tight spots
...erm...anything else? Are there any specific pitfalls to look out for?
It must be 40 years since I last had one apart so any input welcomed.
