Message: [QUOTE="JD3020, post: 602122, member: 373"] I've already re-built my column once, about 2 years ago. Pretty sure i used the kit from Ford. Well now its time to do it again. Ford told me $75 for the kit, which is alright, but i don't wanna re-build it now just to do it again in the future. Pretty sure my issue is because i have no steps or grab handles, so i find myself using the wheel to pull myself into the cab. Bad habit, but i find myself hopping into the truck roughly 6 times a day on average. But other than our OBS's, i've never really heard of any trucks having steering column issues. Our 03 D-max has 226k miles with 0 issues, and my buddies SD has 280k miles and no issues. Both trucks have no steps and sit up fairly high, so the steering wheel gets used as a grab handle frequently. I know the stock bearings are tiny little things, and its no surpise that they don't hold up worth a damn. So has anybody ever tried to use actual decent sized bearings or something to help add some strength? [/QUOTE]
