Reply to "Steering column play"

TY.

I removed the steering wheel and adapter. This allowed the steering shaft to slide out far enough and everything became obvious.

Snap ring 11 was still in place, bushing 9 had disintegrated allowing the same movement as a missing snap ring.

I found the shaft cannot be removed from the bottom though, it comes out from the top, requiring removal of bearing 8. To get it out requires using the steering shaft as a drift and driving the bearing up out of the outer column. The bearing did not survive the process.

I think that unless you confident bearing 8 is bad, it and and the shaft don't necessarily have to removed from the outer column. Removing the steering wheel and adapter should allow enough movement of the shaft for installation of bushing 9 and restoration of washer 10 and snap ring 11.
