CHANGE IN STEERING GEAR HOUSING BUSHING

A change has been made in the steering shaft upper bearing and bushing assembly A-3517.

The new bushing has a “V” shaped lug, which fits into a “V” slot in the steering gear housing and holds the bushing securely in place. This construction eliminates the two A-20281 screws formerly used to hold the bushing in place.

The former design bushing which was held in place by the A-20281 screws has been discontinued. If, after present stocks are exhausted, calls are received for the old style bushing, supply the new type. This bushing can be easily installed by filing off the lug at the dotted line, shown in Fig. 922, then drilling and tapping the bushing after it is pressed into place. Two A-20281 screws are then installed. When drilling the holes, use a No. 21 drill and tap with No. 10-32 tap.
