Upper steering column bearing
Hi, the steering wheel in my Baja has excessive play. The upper steering column bearing is shot. Does anybody know of a local (in Aust) supplier? or
an alternative. It is a little ball bearing with a slotted knurled section that pushes into the column sleeve. My Baja has a 1959 body and floor
pan
They are available from companies in the USA but the freight is three times the cost of the bearing!
Cheers.

Great tip, thanks. They had one left in stock! Hopefully I'm back on the road this weekend.
Cheers.
