Steering column upper and lower bearing source?

I fixed the slop from the loose screws deep inside the steering column yes!

But I accidentally trashed my upper bearing and the lower looked bad as well, (degraded plastic ball bearing holder thing).

The junkyards around here don't have any square body vehicles, and nobody on CL has parts trucks I could pull from.....does anyone have an online source?

Thank you! I really like this forum. Good people here.

Plenty of online retailers sell them, just shop around for cheapest price. I got mine from ebay. Local dealer also had them, but ebay was way cheaper.

Thank you. Does this seem like a reasonable price? http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-CHEVY-CAD...dxXqYA&vxp=mtr

I just never expected them to be so expensive.

Re: Steering column upper and lower bearing source?

Seems kinda high seeing how only the bearing and race are the only new parts. I am looking for all bearings also for a 87 tilt column.

Re: Steering column upper and lower bearing source?

I paid $15 for both (i think i just got lucky).
Here's the best deal I found just doing a quick search.
