I moved it to the Momo hub so the bush was between the spring and the steering shaft, installed, and my wheel firmed up nicely.
:cool:
:)
I am missing the spring and the bushing.
Does anyone have a spare set they would be willing to sell me?
In the diagram Nr 6 is the Steering Shaft Bearing, Part Number: 91434771100,am I right?

The early parts book for the cars started with these numbers for the very same parts:
There are three items below the turn signal cancellation ring (item 27 in the referenced diagram - it's screwed onto the steering wheel).
695.347.711.00 Steering shaft bearing compl.
This is a "loose balls" bearing it's made from sheet metal outer and inner tubes with rolled over edges that hold the loose ball bearings. With age the grease has turned in paste than rock hard - the little steel ball bearings may fall out when you remove this item. Have a magnet on a stick to retrieve them all.
It appears to be current part number of 914.347.711.00 At $271.00
695.347.725.00 Supporting ring for steering shaft bearing.
This key item is the short “L” shaped sheet metal circle that is held and pressed into the slight space between the bearing and steering shaft . This is the item everyone has had go look for with a steering wheel change out, This and the spring is grease stuck to the back of your removed wheel and may still be stuck to it.
It is in the Pelican Parts catalog as :
Stoddard # NLA 347.725.00. $24.95
Note the diagram you posted does not even show the 695.347.725.00 “L” shaped ring. It just shows the bushing and spring. Without the “L” ring the wheel will shimmy and shake and bang around up against the steering shaft.
The spring pushing the ring into the bearing - original part #
695.347.713.00 Pressure Spring in Steering shaft
Updated - it looks like 914.347.713.00. $3.50
Pelican has photos of all three of these parts go have a look and pick the items your missing.
Best of luck with your project.
The $199 bearing is normally quite robust and doesn’t commonly wear out but due to its construction they can seperate and the ball bearings will fall into the column.
I have seen this happen a few times but normally the bearing can be rebuilt and I produed a repair method a while back which I have copied and posted.
The part that is very commonly missing is known as a Stützring Part Number 695.347.725.00 and is available from Porsche. If the Stützring in missing then the associated pressure spring may also be missing and this is Part Number 914.347.713.00
The Stützring is shown below.

If these parts are fitted and there is a problem with the bearing you could try to make a repair as shown below:
