Steering bearing guide

[Rozza!!!]

I've written a guide on changing the steering bearing. You can find it here: www.tvrcc-westyorks.co.uk/infopages/how_to/change_the_steering_column_bearing_on_an_s_series/doc.htm

Let me know what you guys think!

If the centre bush is in the other way then in theory it could come out of position (although I agree it probably would never happen due to its tightness in the bearing). I would be interested to see a pic of the arrangement on your car Le TVR.

I guess its another case of TVR couldn't make its mind up which way round some of the bits on the S should go.

Come on folks!!!! I want people to have a look and let me know how it compares to their experiences. Then I may be able to tweak it to make it even more useful.

Yep.. looks pretty good to me.. I remember painstakingly getting the column back together and realising I was 120 degrees out on the steering, and then having to remove the clamp and do it again.. Matt.

Did that too!

Thanks for the comments guys, I wasn't sure if anyone would find it any more useful than what is written in the bible about the subject. It always helps to have pictures showing you what it should look like at each stage.

I thought the bolt body when through a groove in the Spline section to keep the thing from coming apart.. or am I thinking of another UJ.. (I've seen a few) Cheers Matt >> Edited by M@H on Wednesday 26th November 11:43

The bottom UJ is like that, but I don't know about the top one. It would follow that it would be the same but you never know with TVR.

Is the setup the same on the Tasmin?

I could be wrong but if there is movement on your steering coloumn, then there may be something amiss there and fixing that would then make using the standard bearing ok. I`m not really up on Wedges. You have put the same question in the Wedge forum have you not? You will most likely get a more accurate and helpful response.

Just glad it has been of some use!

Thankyou! If anybody else does any work on their cars, and you think people will benefit from some photos and a few words. Write a bit of a report and I`ll stick it with the other ones I`ve got. I`m hoping to do this for all TVRs not just the Ss.

Pretty good guide that.
