Re: [DML] Steering Bushing

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxx>]

As a variation on the theme, "we" used a short piece of 2x4 and pushed
really hard by foot. I tried, but couldn't push hard enough. Another guy
with a heavier foot drove it in, and I don't think it is ever coming out
again. It was a little hard on the drivers seat (just like stepping on the
brake pedal while driving only more extreme), so I think I like Andy's pipe
idea better. This was for PJ Grady's bushing. The ones from Daryl T might
be different. My car still has the one that it came with from the previous
owner. It is a soft plastic that 'grunts' occasionally as I turn the wheel.
A little oil makes it quiet for a while and then it gets noisy again (just
like DMC Joe predicted). I have a new one to put in there, but don't have
the time to install it. It's strange how I always manage to spend an hour a
day playing on the computer but not on the car. :-)
