Replacement Steering Bearing?
My truck has an after market steering wheel. The steering shaft is loose and clunky. When I took it apart, found that the bearing only had half the bearings in place and the whole affair was loose.
Is there a replacement steering bearing that is an aftermarket improvement? This mechanism seams way over complicated.

Re: Replacement Steering Bearing?
If you take your wheel off have you tighten the three screws & lock tighten them.
if they get used a lot and have a few yr of miles on the them the get loose GM never put lock tighten on them. They are meant to be checked after so many miles. have you check them LINK:http://bowtieguy.proboards.com/threa...r-repair-renew
