help please -bushing

Anyone have a caliper that is willing to measure the bushing on top of the servo saver? There are one per top of steering post.

I was wondering if a bearing could fit in there if thats what your after but sorry I don't have a caliper

I don't think a bearing will fit. If someone could measure the inside diameter, outside diameter & the width in mm's we could find out. Thought this could possibly be an informative post.

I've been wanting to get a digital caliper so this might be my excuse, I'll see what I can do

Harbor Freight has good hobby calipers.

Same here mota. I've been wanting to get one too. Just a handy tool. You need one for u-joints for example.

Well hey, just went to the hardware store & found something that works. 1/4" spacer. It has a seem that can be spread apart. Cut it to the height you need w/pipe cutters & then tap it in w/a hammer. It's kinda too tight but tapping it in will spread the seem just right. It's a perfect & snug fit. No play or slop in the steering. It was a 19 cent fix lol.

this is all you need to make your own bushing.
