I'm trying to eliminate steering play, I've done everything else (Rack, lower shaft, trackrod ends, checked column bushes), and now found there is rotational play in the top UJ on the steering column itself.
I can't find a separate part listed for the UJ, and it's not entirely obvious how to dismantle/change it anyway. Even secondhand columns seem unavailable at the moment from Rimmers, so I'm reluctant to try dismantling it in case it immobilises the car for a long time.
Someone else must have had this problem in the last 40 odd years, but I haven't found anything on a quick forum search.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a supplier, and any tips on dismantling it without breaking anything? I need to get it ready for a Classic Le Mans expedition!
Thanks
