It is definitely the upper bushing that is inside the turn signal switch. I replaced the lower bushing with a solid bronze bushing when I rebuilt the column. I can see the inner ring of the bushing bushing moving back and forth inside the outer ring when I take the steering wheel off. It is as though the ball baring are to small.
