Early a body column bush/seal question

[DodgyDan]

Hi guys, hopefully another easy question for ya'll.

Rebuilding and removing some shifting parts on my old 3 on tree column. I am in the process of replacing bushings and reassembly.

Question: there's what seems to be a lower shaft bushing/seal that sits inside a cup in the lower of the column.

Mine is very torn up and I would like to replace it. I have included a photo of the part I'm looking for. If anyone can help me locate this or what it's even called, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Here’s the one I used in my 65 Dart. As far as I know, there’s no difference between floor shift and column shift.

This looks very weird but I cannot place this anywhere else in the column.

Is it possible this is what I'm looking for?

Yes, that's it. Yours is just missing a lot of it. I just got done refurbishing the three on the tree column in Vixen. Works good.

I went ahead and got one of those ordered.

I have another question now that maybe I should start another post about but it's on the same subject.

Anyone have any experience with this TSB of removing horn ground and replacing with this other bushing?

My column makes the sounds described in the TSB before any sort of rebuilding it was grinding bad, most of the reason I took it apart!

It's just a rubber "housing" the upper steering shaft bearing goes into. Very simple procedure. Nothin to it.

Just went and popped out my bearing, this has already been done to my car but the bearing is seized!

Got one of those ordered!

Once parts arrive this will be case closed! Thanks for the helps.

Sho nuff. It's a light press fit. I've always knocked them off with a small hammer and a punch placed on the inside bearing race.
