Took my steering column apart as it was very 'wobbly', when i dug in there the upper bearing is shot, tried locating it on web, no joy.....can anyone help?

 

Try Streering Column Parts, they are on the web. Is the bearing ring still in tact, and are all the bearings there?

The ring appears to be in tact, and bearings are there, its just 'fallen apart' can press it back together with any success or will it just fail again?

 

Use general purpose grease which is red in color and pack both sides well, this will give a good hold on the bearings. Should not fail after this is done.

 

But how do I get the two parts of the surrounding rings back together?

 

Just realized that it is the bearing race that has cracked, so it wont stay together

 

Ok, so I located what I need at the dealership $80..... also tracked down a compatible part on ebay $24.95 with free shipping to the US (I'm in Canada....) and seller wont ship to me........

So if I pay for the item off ebay would anyone be happy to have it mailed to their US address and then forward it on to me, obviously I will reimburse the cost of postage costs, come on, do a guy a favor lol

 

Is there any junkyards around you?

 

There are but they only have 1 82-92 camaro in and the steering column has already been taken, to be honest I would rather have new, but would any Chev from that era have the se bearing?

 

I'm thinking an S10 might be my first choice because they seem to generally share a lot of parts with Thirdgens.

How difficult is it to remove the bearing?

 

Most GM cars or trucks from mid 70's to the mid and late 90's.
