    Steering column noise?

    On a 71T, a slight clunk noise at about half a turn each side. Checked the damper and all is tight and right there. Also checked the two universals and replaced the lower one. No movement in the tie rod ends. The noise seems to be in the upper steering column and wondering that tis can be? The bushing?

    My thoughts too, but there seems NOT to be a bushing at the top of the column? I believe that the bushing is on the 75+ models?

    Any images of a 70-72 steering shaft from the top, with the wheel removed?

    Thanks Jesse and James. Seems no other takers here. Will try other forums.
