My steering column has always had a little more looseness in it than I
liked. With the installation of my new Manny Tranny, the sloppy shift
linkage (it doesn't have good detents) has become problematic. So,
today I first tore down the Olds column Kosier gave me for seminars
(to refresh my memory & check parts condition); then I tore down the
column in the GMC.
It seems a shame to reassemble it all with the worn out bearings,
which were sorry to begin with. Problem is, they're not as easy to
find as I'd expected in view of the tens of millions of cars built
with the same column. The chair stores don't carry them and we no
longer have a GM dealer. I've found a Corvette parts specialist who
seems to have them -- at outrageous prices.
So the question for the day is: Has anyone found a good source for
our steering column bearings?
