UPPER STEERING COLUMN BEARING GREASE?

[Troub]

IIRC Chrysler had a parts package for the column. Maybe that's new old stock or a repop of that package. I know I bought and still have some individual parts from a dealer - but pretty sure not the spring etc.

I emailed the vendor to verify they sell those to work on a column shift. Is so I will order and post pics when received.

Hey Sireland, my 73 Duster is a floor shifted manual trans. My steering column does not have a lower bearing in it. Will this setup work on mine? Thanks.

Yes, you only need 1 bearing.

Thanks. Where is the best place to purchase one from?

A little thought to consider... OEM steering shaft bearings might fall completely apart but could never prevent steering the vehicle. The more substantial bearing type has the potential to do that. OEM under engineered for a reason?

Reassembling my 67 Darts steering column and have a question on what/any grease to use on the upper bearing? Pic of the bearing...

I think I need to replace or lube my upper bearing.
Where did you buy yours?
Part number?

Thanks
Craig

Craig,
I am re-using my old upper bearing, I just bought the lower replacement kit.
I think several vendors repo the upper bearing, try Classic Industries or Year One.
