I've got a 91 RS sitting around at my dad's garage right now with the steering collumn all torn apart. I've found the problem to be a broken race for the tilt steering bearings. I've already scoured all the local pull your own parts junkyards, and cannot find any 3rd gen F-bodies with good bearings. Does anyone know where I could find a new or used race and bearing assembly for my car, junkyards not included?

 

Pick any GM vehicle with the round colum. The newer ones with the square covers are different.

 

Thanks very much. One more thing... Do the non-tilt wheels use the same bearing set, or does it have to be a tilt setup? Only reason I ask is that it's likely that the bearings in the non tilt will be a whole lot easier to find in good shape, since they'd be taking less of a beating.

 

I cant say for sure. I think so. I do know that I have gotten a lot of repair kits for the collums that were busted in a theft and never needed the bearrings so I had a few extras and when I did need one I had plenty to choose from and they were all the same.

 

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you probably don't have any of those new bearings left? If you do, I'm willing to pay well for them. I'd much rather put new than used in there. Name a price if you've got one, and as long as it's not completely ridiculous, I'll pay it.

 

i got a kit at napa for my 89 with tilt
