Perhaps I'm missing the point here ... I rebuilt my steering column with
standard bushings quite a few years ago now, and the felt (lubricated with
some MoS2 powder) seems entirely adequate to me. It goes in there tight,
under low forces I think it's actually got less play than a nylon bushing
would have to have (if you install nylon that tight, you couldn't turn the
wheel).
Have you folks actually tried a new felt bushing ?
Of course, I should admit that I just noticed today that my steering wheel
is working loose on the shaft. So perhaps I just haven't noticed any
shortcomings of the felt bushing.
