Sterring column bush question

[Colin Blues2]

Hi

I'm planning to replace the plastic steering column bush with the later bearing shortly. Got all the parts ready but have one question. Which way round does the housing go.

With the bearing face exposed into the wheel arch?
or
with the bearing face exposed into the footwell?

The latter seems the most logical so it is protected from the elements but the description of fitting it on the West Yorks TVRCC site shows the bearing facing out in to the wheel arch.

Would there be a problem fitting it the other way around?

Thanks

Colin

The bearing housing should be inside the footwell with the bearing facing forwards. There seems to be a few differences about whether the plastic bush between the column and the bearing fits from the inside or the outside.

Mine has the plastic bush inserted from the outside with a lockwasher to prevent any movement (although the bush is a tight fit...
