Steering shaft lower bushing/bearing assembly
« on: Today at 01:41:33 pm »
I did a quick search and didn't immediately see anything specific to this so here goes...
When installing the lower column steering bushing and bearing, is it best to; (1) do the white plastic bushing and then press the bearing in or (2) press the bearing into the bushing and then assemble to the the lower column shaft?

As long as it's seated and the snap ring is in the grooves with the notch lined up you're golden.
