Steering column Volvo 544/210 (B16/B18)

Play in the steering wheel or an turn signal lever that won't stay in position are common wear points on the 544 and 210/445 – the fault often lies in the impulse unit or in worn seat parts around the column mount. This category gathers parts for the steering shaft on the 544/210 with B16 and B18 motors. The group includes the turn signal lever and impulse unit, shims to take up play, plus the seat, screw, washer, lock washer and spring washer that keep the column tensioned and centered. Always check the thread and design against your model year – early 544s and later B18 cars differ in detail, and several screws follow the UNC standard (3/8-16). The right shims and solid washers are the key to a steering shaft without binding or play.
