Does anyone know where I can buy JUST the bushings alone for the upper and lower shafts?
I got some from LMC, but the weren't even close to being correct.

I have tried. a bunch of places say they can only sell the complete shaft kit. I think I'm going to have to go that route, it cost's so much though....

The truck shop in orange sells the bushings alone...but the cost is almost the same as the complete shaft kit.

Did you try NAPA?

what year truck?

the later year models have a press in bushing. the earlier year trucks have a screw in type "bushing".

It's a 71.
I ended up having to get the whole kit so I can get my truck back on the road.
The guy at the parts store gave me a discount though so it ended up being around $130 instead of $160.
And right on for the guy at the store to care about his job.
