I think im missinng the nr. 7 part. old ownner said thhat he drove over a speedbump too fast, probably pushing the steeringstem up through the hole in the frame?

My question iss, if I am on the right track? and if i would need to remove the whole steeringstem to replace the part?
And what would i nneed to do to remove the steeringstem?

Thank you in advance :))

You can purchase all the parts needed to rebuild the lower steering stem bushing separately or you can buy it cheaper in a kit. I have used and will continue to use the Pivot Works kit. It is part # PWSSK-K06-400.

Here is a link to the kit needed. It will include everything you need including grease to rebuild the lower bushing
