[DML] Re: Steering Column Bushing - tricks?

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe - I have not experienced this issue of undersized inner diameters 
on the bushings that we make and offer.  Many vendors have these made 
by whatever machine shop is local to them, and ours have always 
worked without function or fit issues that I have been made aware 
of.  The bushing is a bit of a press-fit, so the inner diameter of 
the loose part must be established to account for the slight 
reduction in diameter after installation.
