Mike's most excellent article starts on page 8 of this month's PCNC
newsletter. The bushing you need is on page 10. Be sure to zoom in on the
pictures as you can get very good detail.

Drat!
Pantera Performance is closed (after 4:30 their time).
I can't find any article by Mike in any newsletter going back to
January. There is a little bit about Jim Demmick rebuilding his
steering -rack- in the latest issue of profiles (or was it one back).
You -are- referring to the steering column and not the rack? I've
already got a bronze bushing in the rack. You're saying I need one in
the column at the bottom. Sounds like I'm going to have to take it
all apart. grrrr.
