Steering column bearings - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered the lower bearing for my 66 steering column from LMC. The old one was a ball bearing style. The one I got from LMC was solid brass. Has any one installed one of these? I see them wearing out quicker than the ball bearing.
