[T3] steering column coupling disc

[Dave Hall]

Well, it will work until it splits apart and leaves you with imprecise or no
steering!

They are usually reinforced with cloth within the rubber, but are pretty
vital parts, so I would suggest you replace it anyway.

I've seen some very cracked ones that were still holding on, but it's like
cracked tyres - do you change them before they fail or after!

When you replace it, get a decent one - there are some poor replicas around.
Remember to reconnect the horn wire across the gasket - the column bolts and
steering gear bolts only bolt through the rubber disc, not onto each other.

I noticed that the coupling disc on my steering wheel had a crack running
thru it.  Does it need to be replaced?  It seemed fine otherwise.
