2017 A7, power adjust steering column.
My steering wheel rocks up and down about 1/4". Just enough to be really annoying and vibrate like crazy sometimes.

I pulled the lower dash trim off, and can see that this bolt is where it rocks. This appears to be the rear pivot point when you move the wheel up and down.


There is a grey plastic bushing around the bolt, and the top of it is broken off, I'm sure this is the rocking.

Does anyone know if this bushing is available? (There is one on each side) I'd rather not replace the whole column if I can R&R the bolt and bushing.297808

Beyond me, but there is an Audi part #N90570803 with a description "nut shield". Is that what you need? Separately, a steering column without dynamic steering costs about $2,000, while a steering column with dynamic steering is about $7,000. Wow.

Columns run $150-200 on ebay, so looks like that is what I'll be doing.

Well, the used unit ingot had one bushing broken also. But the other side is good. I'm trying to find someone that does 3D scanning and printing to see if I could get some made303472303473
