Hi Gents

After doing a bit of work on my wedgie today i noticed the bulkhead steering bush is a bit slack and with the front of the car jacked up and turning the steering from lock to lock it whines and moans and groans i was going to replace it before the MOT i would like to replace it with a bearing type rather than the bush. So any advice would be appreciated what is the best set up to use and where can i get the parts to do this job or is there anybody who makes this item all ready to use please
