    Early D1 Steering column shakes

    Just wondering if anybody, anywhere does service exchange Steering columns as mine is U/S .(93 200 TDI but with R380 and sway bars , an odd one indeed,bought new !). The lower bearing / bush is very sloppy . I used to change heaps of columns out on Pre-82 RRC's ,that came with the solid connection shaft ,Yeah,change the column and fit a late model rubber Uni shaft type ,that fixed the rattle/feedback . .

    Nope ......

    Surely can't be that hard ... it's just gotta be a couple of bushes (bearings) to remove n refit?

    I do not understand which part you are referring to. Do you mean the lower steering column in the engine bay with a UJ at either end and a rubber damper, or are you talking about the upper column and the bearing at the firewall?

    Mmmmm .... RAVE cd's that i have don't cover the early D1 ... Got the RRC from 85 to 94 .. and Disco from 95 on .... All seem to declare the column "non servicable" >>>>>> Yea, right

    Suggestions ....
    Click on that Rimmers link and fire em a Email ...
    Ring up Wyatts in Geraldton ... They have wrecks floating in their yard and know Rovers (Their great, mate )
    Give a Rovercraft a call for available part numbers ...

    Cheers
    Mike

    Shake

    I had a similar shake, turned out to be the ball joint on the end of the pitman arm. You couln't see any movement, but with the Minister Of War And Finance shaking the steering wheel to and fro and actually holding the joint, I could feel the movement inside, replaced it, different truck!!

    Best of luck,

    Jack

    Thanks jacknz, I reckon I could do a drop arm change in my sleep,Ive done plenty of them,but alas it aint the drop arm ,or the lower shaft unis,or rubber drive ,its the bottom bush in the column. No vagueness in the steering at all ,just a rattle in the Column.
    Tell ya a good trick for doing drop arms .
    A couple of days before changing it spray the splines on top with a heap of penetrant (sometimes not needed due to leaking output seal)
    Then backoff the lock tab ,then undo the Locknut one complete revolution, then redo the lock tab to the new position .(no its not dangerous if you only back off one turn and re-lock)
    After a few days it will loosen up on the Taper ,you will kn0w as the steering will ge slightly sloppier. Now thw arm will almost fall off without any need for the big puller . Works every time for me.
