Bellcrank bearing service
A bellcrank bearing takes constant pivoting movement from the steering linkage, so play builds slowly as it wears. Early signs include looseness at the steering wheel, a slight rattle at the bellcrank and uneven steering feel on rough ground. Addressing a worn bearing early helps prevent damage to the bellcrank itself.
Remove the old bearing with the bellcrank supported, and clean the bore before fitting the new one. Keep the lubricant the bearing area calls for, and keep dirt out of the bore. Compare the old and new bearings side by side before installation, since matching size is essential to a correct fit.
- Clean the bellcrank bore before fitting
- Check the bellcrank for wear or cracks
- Inspect the surrounding linkage bushings
