Interesting, I just rebuilt one and mine does not have a nut just a bracket that compresses the upper bearing held in place by the heavy spring?

I just took apart and cleaned my tilt steering column. When I was done I found one single ball bearing on my table. It’s from one of the upper bearings. The steering wheel works great now. Will it be ok missing one out of 30 bearings ? I really don’t want to take it all back apart

There’s no extra play. It’s tight

I'd fix it too. I've made mistakes on a few of the 15 or 20 that I've rebuilt and always taken them back apart to fix my mistakes when I made them. failure is not an option, especially when I fix them.. |

Some great info here in this thread. I remember the first time I ever got inside one of those years ago. Went in to tighten those bolts with no info whatsoever on it. Swore I'd never do another one but ended up doing quite a few over the years. They really aren't that bad.
Proper tools and information is the answer on this as well as any other job. Great write-up 1970390amx.
