    My 1956 Dodge Custom Royal has excessive play at the upper steering shaft bearing. Almost a 16th inch, which leads me to believe there's some mismatched parts? It's a pwr steering car, and the shaft measures about 7/8 at the bearing, does that sound right? The shaft doesn't appear damaged, so I'm considering using a repair sleeve if I can find the right size. This would save me removing the turn signal swich and wiring which would be preferred.
    Has anybody run into this before?

    Any help is appreciated
