Steering Column shaft coupling (inside vehicle)

Fullsonian: I'm trying to find a replacememt steering coupling for the one at the bottom of the steering shaft in the vehicle cab. The one that has the two pins passing through, it wears out and makes the steering rattle like hell :evil: Can't find them on brickwerks, anybody know anywhere that does them?

Toolsntat: On mine I have 2 rubber grommets that those 2 pins go into and not bare metal. Are your grommets missing?

Fullsonian: Thanks for that. The grommets are there but have gone oval. Like I said it knocks like hell over bumps! Going to strip it tomorrow and have a good look...

vern41130: Mine has a jubilee clip round it, was wondering why and I'm guessing I've found out!

Probably not the greatest solution ? Isnt this the bit that's supposed to come apart in a crash to stop you getting a steering wheel to the face


lhd: They are about £1.00 each and make a massive difference when renewed. Find a local Cordwallis and order them, its not worth messing around for that money.

cruz: This has just reminded me to change my grommet bushes too as my steering has been sloppy in the middle for years


'toolsntat: Just a timely reminder that I had rattly steering for a while, until one day it went clunk and then floppy @@

It was because one of the bolts on the first flexi-joint had worked loose and then dropped out as we were going along the A14
