Triumph
Lower Column Steering Bush Kit

A Lower steering column bush & thrust washer
kit that is suitable for the Triumph Stag MkI & II ; years
1970-1977.
This kit has proved extremely popular so far
with Triumph Stag owners & restorers alike and replaces the
wearable parts in the lower end of the steering column and removes
any play which may have occured.
The kit comprises of the following components :
2
No. Coated Thrust Washers ; 1 No. Coated Bush ; 1 No. Retaining Circlip
;
1 No. Tensioning Washer.
The parts in the kit are identical to the parts fitted
originally in the factory but with two modifications. Firstly, the
two thrust washers have a 50% increase in their surface area which
will increase their working life given adequate greasing/lubrication.
Secondly, there is a steel tensioning washer which will take up any
'play' in the existing components. This kit has been fitted to our
own MkII Stag and it works perfectly.
The kit will require the existing Bearing Housing,
Steel Spacer Washers and Sleeve to be retained/reused as these items
are not included with the kit. The steering column will need to be
removed from the car to fit these parts as access to the steering
column whilst on the car is very limited if in situ.
The wear to these
components can be severe, wear which is accelarated by water ingress
and can result in MOT failure. This area is often neglected in servicing
as was evident on our own Stag. Is yours ok? Ours wasn't!
Each kit is supplied with an explanation sheet and a brief guide
to the product
assembly.
These kits are a quality British made item and are NOT available
with any of
the usual Triumph parts stockists.
