Datsun 1200s used a steering column that is integral with the Steering Gearbox. Most have a simple tubular column, but GL and USA models were fitted with a safer Collapsible Steering Column is used in all modern cars.
Contents |
Overview
If your column, as seen under the dash, is a simple tube, it is the standard kind. But if it is dimpled, it is a collapsible column.
All USA, new Australia utes, and GL models in Japan were fitted with the collapsible column.
Bushing Repair
Here's a fix for the loose steering column which every 1200 now seems to have after 30 years... a polyethylene bushing.
It is located in the top of the steering column(i.e. steering wheel end) and unscrews. It is behind the turn signal indicator assembly.
This is like a $10 fix, although you have to drill, cut and/or whittle the polyethylene yourself. It is low-friction and self-lubricating. Machine one up yourself out of Nylon - $10. With some time and patience you can whittle it with a knife.
Home-made nylon bushing
Or buy one already made from Nissan. The Nissan part number is:
- USA 48910-H1020 or 48910-H1021 Column Bush (1971-1973) [for Collapsible Steering Column]
- JDM 48054-H1002 BUSH-STEERING WORM Sedan/Coupe/Wagon/Pickup (all years)
-
- Reportedly, newer Aussie utes use a totally different setup
- The screw in type AU$56. Press the new bush into the screw part, per the Factory Service Manual
- The press fit type AU$26, essentially a rubber bush with a copper sleeve
A friendly Nissan dealer is the place to ask for the part.
- you can still get them genuine from Nissan
- looks like some sort of engineering plastic (eg delrin) and encased in the threaded and castellated metal outer
Alternatives
- as a quick fix , cut 4 small pieces of cork, lube them up and push them in place.
- cut a spare LCA bushing with a 32mm hole saw. See Quick fix for sloppy steering column bush
