RE: [DMCForum] Re: shaking steering column

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's not the one I have. Mine is a pinkish color. I can't remember if I
got it at PJ Grady or not but it sounds like I got it from DMCH. It's a
hard
rubber but pliable enough to work. 

I cut a slit on one side and pushed it over the steering column. I had to
twist it a little to get it into place but it finally snapped on. Once it
was in I pushed it down into the firewall. If you want pics I can take
one.
