68 steering colume

Post by Red »

Is there a bearing or bushing at the top of the colume that can be replaced? Mine sounds horrible in both the 68 and the 69.

Red, there's a bushing under all the horn stuff & blinker control , but not sure how it comes out , I was told the 68& 69 steering columes mount different , but don't know if the internels are the same or not , let me know , as I'am starting to stripe out a 68 with a auto trans ,& i can pull the colume & put it on hold for you ,

69-71 are the same, I have very little experience with the pre-69 trucks, I might try spritzing some micro mist in there and see if it helps, there is and old chrysler dealership near work. I might check with them during lunch and see if the old timers there know how to fix it. Dont chuck the colume yet though!
