will this work for me? I have play in the column. Just the steering wheel is moving. Maybe 2-3mm. When I put my year of car in to buy the part it says it's not available....

Does your car have the original steering wheel? If not then it's likely whoever changed the wheel left out some of the parts.

I've done this couple times with great success on later cars, Kris. Very quick and satisfying fix but I think it's only applicable to later cars.

That part is of no use to you and only works for 74 and later 911s.
Did you transfer all the parts off the back of your previous wheel on to that ratty
Old thing you have now?��

Check to make sure all the components are the right way round: I had a similar issue and all I had to do was reverse one of the parts and the movement was gone. Sorry to be hazy on the part name, but I'm no expert :-)

On early cars it is quite common that either the upper bearing (Item 11) has separated into two parts due to the snap ring having become dislodged.
This can allow loose ball bearings to fall into the column.
It is quite easy to rebuild this bearing with new balls and re-fit.
You will need a puller to take it out of the end of the column.
If this bearing is intact then it is possible that the 'Steutzring' (Item 12) is either missing or is fitted the wrong way round.
The 'point' on the 'steutzring' should be facing the gap in the bearing.
This bearing arrangement was used until around 1973 but the Steutzring was eliminated in around 1971.
Part Number is 695.347.725.00 and cost is around $25-30
Would that "Leland" bearing be a fix here (on say a 71).?
I believe that 'fix' is a part which repairs the bearing on the later column when the plastic inner track breaks.
There is a 928 part that Porasche sells that does the came job.
The ealy bearing is quite different and although I believe you can buy a plastic part as Porsche still sell the original Steutzring this seems to be the best solution.

The "Steutzring" was used until the column changed with the 74 year model cars. Where did your info come from that stated it was eliminated? That is wrong! Your illustration is great and clearly shows the proper orientation of the spring, turn signal canceller, and the "Steutzring" (split ring).

Jim,
The diagram I posted is a 65-67 Column arrangement, I may well be wrong but there is an indication that Porsche did eliminate this component.
If you look on the PET you will see that the Steutzring is missing from 1971 onwards and we see quite a number of cars without them fitted.
