Here is before…. It needs a new lower bearing… noisy… but at least there is a bearing there like I wanted… and it’s a know part and can be replaced. I greased it best I could… it’ll have to do for now.

Ignore the horrible paint job… in a time crunch…. Had to rush the drying… but here is its and it mounts right in

Basically I have a 70 upper column and 73/4/5/6 lower column.

It worked fine and I used my 70 upper column housing and ignition switch and all the guts at the top and that stuff. Works perfect. The bottom mounting plate is different… only 2 mounting points at the studs…. No 3 mounting point and the 70 bracket won’t fit … but it mounted right up regardless.

The short of it is… yes the needle bearing I found will work it you mill the outside diameter down… especially all the way and not like me where it got stuck in the tube and I couldn’t get it back out to mill down more…. So I got pissed and took a hammer to it and collapsed the column. Go me...

I got the one off eBay and already picked it up. Looks like my 70 upper housing pieces will go right on. Overall this is a better design if you as me with the bearing held by the spring in the shift tube. This was what I was trying to do with my 70 column. Long story short …. It collapsed...

so the one on ebay looks like a 75/6 column and not 73 as stated. wondering if it would still work though and I can just change over my 70 bits like the mounting bracket and maybe the ignition housing, etc. so i can keep the same key. 73 DART MOPAR A BODY TAN AUTO STEERING COLUMN W/ KEY OEM...

Also looks like the bottom under dash mounting bracket is a bit different then the 70 with only two mounting points… wonder if my old one will transfer over to the 73?

The center shaft doesn’t matter. I’d just have to cut the linkage bits that go to the steering rack of the Reilly bits. By key interlock… are you say my ignition switch wouldn’t transfer over so I could use the old key? There is a 73 column with power steering on eBay….

I have Reilly front suspension, so it wouldn’t matter about length. I’d just have to redo the linkage to the rack. But it would be nice to be able to reuse my good ignition switch and not have to redo my linkage.

What year steering columns will fit a 70 swinger? It’s a column shifted power steering car. Will a 73 work?

Don’t ask….. but I need a whole new steering column now. Fml…. Anyone got a 70 swinger column. Or know what years would still work?

gonna try the MR 16 SRS double sealed roller bearing see what happens. i'll post the findings....if it works....guess that will fix the 1 other person that needs it 10 years from now LOL

i wonder how well/long a needle bearing would work/last. considering its not exactly sealed or self lubricating. Tritan Needle Bearing, Caged, Inch, 2 Rubber Seals, 1-in. Bore Dia., 1.5-in. Outside Dia., 1-in. Width MR16 2RS | Zoro

i'm getting realllly close. https://www.amazon.com/XiKe-Flanged-Bearings-Applicable-Wheelbarrows/dp/B01MF5A4GF/?tag=fabo03-20

something exactly like the ser205-16 would be great...only in the dimensions i need.

air chisel to the pin holding the ujoint to the steering shaft to get it out more then one time...using the delrin as leverage to push against. the downward hammering force....equals wobbled out. it's more of an oval now then it is a circle. i should have supported the steering shaft from...

surely someone has dealt with this....I can't be the one and only column shifted car that went with the Reilly from end.

if nobody knows......then is there a website that shows bearings with all the measurements i'm just not aware of?

something like this....only for the bottom and sealed. NEW 1962-90 Mopar Upper Steering Column Bearing | eBay or something like the ser205-16.....only the correct size for the shift tube/steering shaft

a bearing is what i'm looking for. something more permanent and wont wear as fast. what you linked is one that uses set screws i believe and i don't think that works in a 70 column.

inside of column shift tube is 1.40" (ish) .... hard to measure with the shaft going down the middle. when I corrected the delrin bushing in the kit to fit in there.....I tappered it from 1.40" at the tip to 1.47" at the base.... so it would press in. it fits nicely and hasn't come off. the...

Howdy, Car is a 70 Dart Swinger 340 with column shifted automatic. I have Reilly front suspension and the flaming river power steering rack. For those familiar, usually the kit comes with a Delrin bushing that slips up in the steering column and holds the steering shaft centered....well I...
