[QUOTE="Taz, post: 7702623, member: 2127"] I presume you have already checked the rag joint on your intermediate shaft, and it's still fine? It certainly sounds like you've got the same symptoms I had. Downright scary, isn't it? Sorry, I never took a photo of the bushing, but you can't miss it. It's the metal collar that the steering shaft passes through when exiting the passenger compartment through the firewall. Slide under the dash (inside the car) and run your hand down along along the intermediate steering shaft until you reach the firewall. At the firewall, you'll feel the bushing's flange, which forms a collar around the bushing. It may feel like it's seated, but probably isn't. Just put a small 2'x4" wood block against the flange and, working the block around the flange bang the collar down into the firewall with a hammer. See if that doesn't clear up your problem. [/QUOTE]
