steering shaft bearing replacement

Is there supposed to be a white plastic piece around this bearing? found some bearings on jims auto parts.com but they dont look the same. I pulled the shaft out through the engine bay. not from the inside of the car. Would this have made the plastic part stay in the column?


No there is not supposed to be a white plastic piece around the bearing. But, you can convert to that type of bearing. I did. You will have to drill holes at the bottom of the column for the screws.
