Loose steering B-112

[tillerman 0]

Under the steering wheel at the top of the steering pedestal the steering is a little sloppy meaning it has some up and down movement and the hole that the shaft is in is a little too big for the shaft probably 1/8". What can be done to tighten this up? ..Richard

Richard, You can install bushing in the steering hole where the shaft rests in. On edit: I misread your post. I originally thought you were referring to the other end, when you were actually referring to the top end. My apologies. A new bushing is what you would need for sure, and they are definitely still available new from Simplicity. (I bought one myself 4 months ago)

pvc pipe can fill that gap also just slide a short pipe over the steering rod a little scuff sanding and paint very few would see the differance

That part is still available new. The part number is 157077 (steering bushing).

Thanks for the help fellows.That was a good post by Redbarnrick even if it was referring to the wrong end of the shaft.
