Replace/rebuild steering column Options

[JimMueller]

Hey Jim,

I'm not at all clear on the last few messages in this post. What is sticking? The "tilt" movement? I'm really not sure why this would be the case unless something else was damaged during install. One set of the prototype pins was a little too big and even after REALLY having to persuade them to get them in, the column still functions as expected.

Thanks,
Jason

I guess without having a completely new steering column I don't have anything to compare with. Before the over sized pins, the wheel would have excessive play up/down at the 7'o'clock position, but pulling it up or pushing it back down it moved smoothly through the excessive motion. After install, if I pull up a little on the steering wheel at the 7'o'clock position, the wheel will stick before moving back towards the 7'o'clock position.

Yeah, that's not normal behavior after the pin install. It sounds like something in the tilt mechanism isn't as it should be.

Thanks,
Jason
