Thanks for the info. But in that case where is the spring that holds the cups? I have the two packages with assembly line U-joints. There are no springs present.
I got back the steering column in excellent condition. I started to grease the cup and added new "blocks" on the column. New gasket but I can't find the clips that goes over and hold it in place!!!!
The mark in the upper part of the column should be pointing upwards during assembly. That meets the oposit on the steering wheel.
