It helps maintain correct shaft alignment, reduces friction and allows smooth steering wheel rotation while minimising unwanted movement.

What Does It Do?

The needle bearing supports the steering shaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly while reducing friction and maintaining accurate alignment within the steering column.

Why Does It Fail?

Common causes include:

• Wear from repeated steering movement
• Loss or deterioration of lubrication
• Moisture ingress and corrosion
• Age-related bearing deterioration
• Damage during steering column removal

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace if excessive steering shaft movement, roughness, unusual noises or bearing damage is identified.

A worn bearing may cause noticeable play or vibration at the steering wheel.

Checks & Diagnosis

Check for unwanted movement in the steering shaft and roughness when rotating the steering wheel.

Inspect the bearing, shaft and surrounding column components for wear or damage. Steering play should also be checked at the universal joints, steering rack and suspension connections.

Key Features

• Supports smooth steering shaft rotation
• Helps maintain correct steering column alignment
• Reduces friction and unwanted shaft movement
• Suitable for classic Porsche steering restoration
