Re: [oletrucks] Trouble with Flaming River columns??

[Keith Durand <kdurand@MIT.EDU>]

If the angle the column makes with hthe shaft is too much, the bearing 
and ujoint might have died prematurely. Also, make sure the lower 
bearing hasn't worked it's way out of the column. I'm not familar with 
the flaming river parts, but I remember a small clip on my old van 
column that kept the lower bearing in.

As for the horn, try adding a ground wire between body and column. There 
might be paint or sealant that is messing up the ground. Could also try 
grounding the shaft temporarily to see if the problem is there.
