95 T/A steering Column Question

**Sleeper101** · 11-11-2007, 02:30 PM

I traded for a 95 T/A Lt1 and the steering wheel is very loose, Moves up and down 3-4 inches every way, SO I took it apart and it looks like the bearing is bad around the shaft, But I called the part stores and I am unable to find a bearing, Does anyone know if they make a replacement bearing or if its fixable?

I don't really wanna buy a new steering column, But if I can't fix this one, Guess I have no choice.

Sounds like the 'rag joint eliminator' is what you need to stiffen up of steering column.

It's a GM dealer item.

You have to buy the whole steering colum rebuild kit. It's the same kit for cars built the last 30 years. Cost is about $50

thanks!! i tore into it this weekend abd its pretty much trash, the two bearings on the shaft do not line up! there 1/8th inch shy one way or the other. So I trashed it and decided to get by a used one.
