Title: Steering Colum Firewall seal
Post by: Corey Bowcutt on March 15, 2021, 11:08:15 AM
As part of my engine compartment refresh I have completely stripped my engine compartment.  I was looking to replace the rubber seal where the steering column passes thru the firewall.  I was looking on NPD and I see 3 different seal possibilities. 

First is a foam donut.  I did not have this on my car.  Should I have it?

Secondly there was a rubber seal stating it is used for a long shaft steering box.  This looks like the correct one to me?

Lastly they have another flat rubber seal that does not look correct to me.

Can anyone verify which of these seals I should be using?  I am thinking the foam donut is used in conjunction with the rubber seal but just not sure?

Thank you,

Corey

The middle seal is the only one used to mount the steering column

Thank you Pete.  That is the one I figured I needed.  I was just not sure if I was supposed to have the foam donut.
