[TR] : TR4 steering column inner bushings

[CarlSereda at aol.com]

Gary,
You can force steering column bushes out with a long stick from opposite
sides.
Then you can double up installation of the 'stock style' rubber/nylon bushes
from TRF. With the first 2 bushes shave off the rubber nibs and push into tube
PAST the original position on both ends. The second set of bushes install as
normal - nibs popping through locator holes in tube. This will result in a
very solid feel (keeping the 'rubber dampened' nylon bushes rather than using
solid nylontron). Note: the steel shaft probably has wear-down rings in the met
al
from original bushes. The second set of new bushes will ride on new shaft
metal, further eliminating slop, plus probably doubling the life of outer 2
bushes.
Good luck,
Carl
