Please, help me with this steering column insulator
Ok, yesterday I received my new bearing/rubber ring set and have installed it. Very simple, a child's play.
But the TS problem remained :BangHead:
So, today, I spent my afternoon disassembling, testing and reassembling my steering column. I had to find.
And I finally found....
The problem comes from the lack of bearing snap ring (part #6). As the bearing (#7) is into a rubber ring (#8), it doesn't hold firmly into the collar and the snap ring prevents the bearing and its rubber ring to slightly move forward onto the column shaft. When the bearing moves forward, even just a little bit, this causes a little play of the column shaft -> causing a faulty ground -> causing a TS malfunction.
I replaced the absent snap ring with a little spring clip. Now, the bearing cannot move forward anymore and the turn signal works fine regardless of the steering wheel position.
