Default Superformance steering column play

Replaced upper and lower steering column bearings, hoping to eliminate play in the steering column. No improvement. Replaced the spring behind the wheel. Problem solved.

The new spring is taller, indicating that the old spring had collapsed down a bit. The angular ball bearings require that they be preloaded by the spring. No preload and the column would rock up and down.
