Used to get this problem on rear axle diff couplings to overcome centre punch dots on the splines and use a stud loctite to hold not as fierce as ordinary lostite

can you just point me wich material is that ? shims?

thanks.
A shim, like a large washer which will fit over the spline before the wheel is fitted - thick enough to ensure the nut tightens onto the wheel boss. It would make sure the wheel is actually clamped by the nut.

It might work better, if the wheel were fitted first, then the shim/washer, then the nut.

Hi,
I have just noticed the resurrection of my very old thread.
To save anyone going down the wrong route, the eventual cause of the movement turned out to be play in the upper bush of the steering column, even though it had been there since the car was almost new.
I swapped the column for a new one and all play and vibrations gone. It's like driving a new car.
The new column for my RHD car was a LHD one from Rimmers for £25 + VAT which will fit. The procedure is well documented in the excellent How-To by Rich17865.
Good luck.
