2 years ago I replaced what was probably the original upper non tilt steering column bearing in my 1967 GTO. I replaced it with one I sourced from a local junk yard. He has a 67 Lemans that I've gotten parts off of for over 23 years. The bearing appeared to be in good condition. The column was not exposed to the elements. I cleaned all the old grease out of it and repacked it by hand with Kendall blue hi temp grease.
Well it lasted 2 years, and now it too is shot. I drove the car for 20 years on the other bearing until it wore out, so I'm sure the shaft isn't bent. I was surprised that this bearing failed so soon. The Lemans odometer did say 80,000 mi, me thinking, that's not too bad, but that could have been 180,000 mi for all I know.

Anyway, after all that, does anyone out there have this bearing that they know is in good condition and is willing to part with it. If so, pm me. Also, does anyone know of other gm vehicles used this bearing. Tks in advance and sorry for the long post.
