hey guys ,

just wondering if ne 1 here have had a prob with this bearing comming loose and away from the fire wall. ??? and if so the best way to replace it.

im guessing picking up a new bearing froom coventrys or such. then just removing the steering shaft out then dropping the whole coulom from in side the cab and sliding it back? then fitt the new bearing etc?

also ne1 know a price of such bearing?

Time for a new or good used complete column as the bearing is not serviceable.

Second Luthor's post,
I replaced my whole column as the bearing had disappeared, don't know how and it was a quick fix. I was lucky I had a donor car so I didn't even try to fix it.
Cheers,
Paul

The bearing in question is replacable. Its a plate that screws to the firewall with a bearing that slides over the steering column. This bearing is in a plastic casing that can pivot on the plate depending on the steering wheel height. As far as i know its only available from Ford. I know this because ive replaced mine on the EL before. The steering column does not have to be replaced just removed to fit the firewall/steering colum bearing.

What model are we talkin about here??? EA to ED are different to EF/EL.
The EF/EL have a pivot plate and the EA to ED do not.
I have several recoed column units, with new, better bearings in place.
They are $150 each + P&H. They suit EA to ED.
PM me if your interested.

We are talking about an EB here so the bearing is not replacable.
