Upper or Lower Steering Column Bearing | 66–73 Bronco, 57-73 Ford Truck
Keep your factory steering column turning smooth and tight with this OEM-fitment Steering Column Bearing. Designed to fit both the upper and lower positions in your stock column, this high-quality replacement bearing restores proper function and feel to your classic Ford truck or early Bronco’s steering shaft.
Over time, original bearings wear out, leading to play in the column and sloppy steering feel. Replacing both upper and lower bearings ensures smooth, reliable operation and helps maintain the factory driving experience you expect from your classic truck or Bronco.
Sold individually — most vehicles require two (one upper, one lower) - see chart for details.
Don’t forget to grab the matching column bearing sleeve for a complete rebuild!
