Steering column bearings help

[Fri00]

I’m rebuilding my steering column and cannot locates replacement for the upper bearing and I searched everywhere I can think. The column is a non tilt for standard transmission out of a 1982 with manual steering. From what I can tell is the most basic column available for that year. Everything I seem to find is for tilt columns or for automatics. Anyone know of a source?

This assumes the bearing is the same between a 3 speed and an auto non tilt.

Try Chat GPT. It can help locate parts and suppliers. Provide as much info and pictures. Usually gets it right 80-90% of the time.

According to the parts catalog the bearing is the same for A/T or M/T non-tilt column. As listed above the GM number is 7819517.

A quick search shows that part available many places. Summit and Rock Auto have AC Delco for $35.
