Steering Column Bearing for 1966-1972 and 1973-1979 Ford Trucks and Broncos

The lower steering column bearing is designed to be compatible with 1973-1979 Ford Trucks and 1976-1979 Ford Broncos. It can also be used with 1966-1972 Ford Trucks and similar vintage Ford cars, though minor modifications to the column tube may be required.

To install the replacement bearing, you will need to drill out three spot welds to remove the existing stock bearing components. The kit can then be installed in its place. Be sure to confirm the fit by comparing the dimensions provided below.

The key features of this high-quality lower steering column bearing include:

Proper Fit: The bearing has a full 2.125-inch outer diameter, ensuring a snug and secure fit within the column tube. The inner diameter measures 0.75 inches (shaft), with a depth of 0.625 inches.

Mounting Hardware: The kit comes supplied with three stainless steel 1/4-inch cap screws and pre-tapped mounting holes for secure installation.

Versatility: This bearing is compatible with Steeroids or similar power steering conversion kits for vintage Mustangs, providing a reliable solution for those upgrades as well.

Robust Construction: The bearing is made from 1/8-inch thick Drawn-Over-Mandrel (DOM) steel tubing, which is precisely cut, deburred, and fitted into a jig for perfect concentricity. The tubing is then MIG welded to the top plate, where the precision-ground and sealed radial ball bearing is secured. This combination ensures unparalleled strength and durability.

In summary, this lower steering column bearing is an excellent replacement option for 1973-1979 Ford Trucks, 1976-1979 Ford Broncos, and even 1966-1972 Ford Trucks with minor modifications.
