Are they classic mini column ones ?

[Rednop1]

I'm sure these are a bespoke westfield part 

what is wrong with the ones you have fitted ?

[XTR2Turbo]

they are easy to make but better if you make an exact fit to your housing and column to get the tightest fit and no play.  10 minutes on the lathe. Happy to make if you are local to Kent postcode tn8 

if if you only have a small amount of slack just painting the column where it rubs may be enough to improve

Mine's had a rattle at the top and bottom bush since new

I put loads of graphite grease in mine and it makes it smoother and no play. You could remove it and use some very thin shimming material to take up the wear by sliding between the column and bush .

Wow thanks for all the help 

it's a 2012 model and just put two new universal joints on and wanting to replace these they have just worn that's all but as usual Westfield don't have anything for a Westfield 

going to replace them 

and thanks but I'm nowhere near Kent based in west yorkshire 

thanks guys 

could well be the escort ones 

look the same anyway

I had the same fiasco a few years back. Told me no stock but pay for them now and we'll post automatically when they come in next week. Week comes and goes so I call them .. "we never ordered them because they're in stock all the time"   Oh, and when they did arrive, they were worse than the originals .. by a long way!!

All that for two nylon collars .. I wish I knew someone that could run them up locally. Landed up re-using my originals packed up with a bit of graphite grease like Trustyjust did.
