Steering wheel movement

My understanding of the shearbolt is an anti tamper device against the crims

I replaced it with a bolt it looks as if the bolt is less dense,are you sure?

Shear bolts are there to secure the ignition lock, it was written into  car manufactures rules and guidelines time ago,where steering locks are fitted they must be protected by an anti tamper fixing,which is stupid as itS pi$$ easy to break the lock anyway.

Top column bearing breaking up is very common on mk3's can be easier in the long run to replace the upper column.

Also shear bolts are fitted for a reason.
