Lower steering column bearing
Anyone have any suggestions on a replacement lower steering column bearing for my 85 K20 4x4 4spd floor shift. The truck has a horrendous clunking when on rough roads and I grabbed the steering shaft and it is loose at the point where it hooks up to the column. I removed the retainer clip and pulled out this weird looking bearing and it is loose and rough.
I work at a GM dealer and I think the catalog is wacked. If I look at the parts description they list a lower column bearing but the drawing number shows it up top. The one in the pic at the bottom shows to be discontinued.
Sounds like a trip to the junk yard may be in order, but I cant imagine I will find another 27 yr old bearing that is any better.
