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.

Or buy one already made from Nissan. The Nissan part number is:

  • 48054-H1002 BUSH-STEERING WORM Sedan/Coupe/Wagon/Pickup (all years)

  • Reportedly, newer Aussie utes use a totally different setup (perhaps the collapsible type column)
  • 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

    It seems the Nissan Catalog has the last two reversed. You need three of the 20mm oval head and one of the 12mm truss head. The 12mm fixes the Cover to the Column. The other three hold the two halves together.
