Steering Column Bearing
I am having trouble find a replacement bearing for my steering column. I feel sure some of you have had to replace it. Suggestions?

Re: Steering Column Bearing
Are you talking about the lower or the upper?

Re: Steering Column Bearing
Did a quick Google search and Brothers shows both the upper and the lower.

Re: Steering Column Bearing
As Cdowns mentoned: If you're in a hurry most bearings have a number and if you have a bearing place listed in the yellow pages take the bearing with you and see if they can match it. I have replaced several in the past that way.

Re: Steering Column Bearing
I dont think you will find these brgs at a industrial supply store. They are specific to these columns. The lower one comes with a kit that includes the spring & seat. I have the GM part numbers at the shop & can look them up tomorrow. Many of the specialty supply parts places have them.

Re: Steering Column Bearing

Classic Parts has both the upper and lower bearings: http://www.classicparts.com/Steering...oducts/307/1/0 American Classics has them too... http://www.classictruck.com/category...column+bearing Some vendors offer a sleeve type bearing for the lower bearing. Since the steering column isn't water tight at the base, water gets in and wreaks havoc with the OEM roller bearing. I went with the sleeve bearing from American Classics, something you might want to consider. Another thing to look at: If the lower bearing has failed the steering column shaft may be worn. On my truck it was severely worn and I welded and machined it down. How it looked at disassembly  How it looked after repair:  Hope that helps!
