Steering Column
« on: March 08, 2006, 10:40:44 PM »

I'm looking for the bearing at top lf the steering shaft, and there are three plastic bushings that that mount the steering column up under the dash.  Does anyone know where I could find them parts?  have my steering column apart rebuilding it and trying to locate thoses items.  Thanks  Steve

In all my years of tearing columns apart I've never seen a bad bearing, only ones that needed a good cleaning and some fresh grease. Anyway, new parts are as close as your junk yard. Find an old Diplomat or 5th Avenue and get the plastic sliders from it. Find an old pickup and get the bearing from it.

Holy crap, MOPAR is rippin' people off on that item if that's what they're asking for them.  It has been a few years, but I used to get those from my local parts store for like $20 and I know I've seen them cheaper than that on ebay.

I know I'm cheap, but that's just insane for there to be that much mark up just because it comes in a pretty package that says MOPAR.  I mean come on; it's a molded piece of plastic, not a camshaft.  \/][ I guess I need to get into the plastic parts business.  hammer
