Steering Column Movement

[Rob669]

I have some movement in the steering column (Ph1 172) and thought it was the height adjustment mechanism just not engaging properly, but having tried it again it does seem to be moving in all positions. Is there a bearing on the column that could be the cause or do these height adjustment mechanisms wear out over time?

There are bearings in the column at the top and bottom , Renault do not list them so new column .
But I do recall you can still buy R5 column bushes and make them fit in place as the column shaft internal and external diameter are the same.
I only know because I have done this a long time ago.

Cheers for that.
