97 f-150 loose shifter fix

This is a video of the cause of a loose steering column shifter on a f-150. This issue is very common but very easy and inexpensive to fix. All you need are basic hand tools and a new set of bushings.

I was thinking maybe i could use metal sleeves instead of plastic ones that'll just break again

@@neighborhoodmechanic3822 thanks for reply any idea how much I would have to pay mechanic

[@neighborhoodmechanic3822]

@@MarkMinistries the average mechanic would probably charge 2.0 labor. Depending on the labor rate I would expect the job to cost between $120-200 dollars.
