GC2310 steering wheel loose - rubber bushing replacement

hube2 · Jun 25, 2024

According to the parts books it's the same unit for all the GCs. The only difference I can see for parts is that the new models don't have the rubber bushings, at least according to the parts book (but I could be missing it). The unit in the new models is also mounted lower on the column with a longer shaft and u-joint for the tilt steering instead of being connected directly to the steering wheel with a short shaft.

This was one of the reasons that I chose the GC in the first place, because, for the most part, all the parts or at least 90% of them are all the same. Massey might not sell a lot of them but with so many models all using the same parts the likelihood of becoming obsolete or unavailable is smaller.

If the "unit' in the new models has a longer, and different type of shaft, mounts in a different place, and in a different fashion, that seems to strongly suggest the "new unit" is not a compatabile replacement part?

Sorry, you are right, I must have looked at wrong book for the new model, is does use a different controller.
