    I’ve had my A100 apart for quite awhile, and am now starting to put things back together. I think I’m missing a part in the steering column under the turn signal assembly. Looking into the column I see a bearing the shaft goes through, but it’s a larger size than the shaft. I think there is a “bushing” or something similar the fits snug around  the shaft and rides in the bearing. Well, I’m missing that bushing. Is that bushing available, and if so, where do I get one?Steering shaft bearing E4ddba10

    Glad you were able to resolve...did you see someone else's setup?

    Great! I was going to suggest a trip down the bushing aisle at the hardware store.

    Actually found what I needed in an old wrecking yard. They actually had an A100 van there. Fairly complete but in rough shape. I won’t forget it’s there in case I need something else!
