Ford Steering Column Shifter Bushing Replacement

In order to stop the clumsy shifting and occasionally stuck keys, I needed a specific part that many of my local Autozones lacked for my 1999 Ford Ranger shifter bushing. I therefore created this to fit and convert both of the damaged OEM bushings into a 3D printed one. The problems were fixed and the shifting was smooth after everything was put back together.

For a vehicle, especially internal parts made of metal that can reach temperatures high enough to melt PLA and quickly degrade it, PLA might not be the best filament option. Grease may lessen wear on the shifting column's metal and 3D-printed component.

This part is compatible with older Ford vehicles like the one in the picture.
