    68 Standard Column

    I want to replace the upper and lower bearings in my steering column. I found Jim Shea's papers but it really does not address the lower bearing. Does anyone have or know where I may obtain detailed information on disassembly and reassembly? I did find a NOS upper bearing but still in need of the lower.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    This link is from the Zip Products website, 1967 standard steering column.

    http://www.zip-corvette.com/GroupDet...umn+Components&

    Any parts listed and described in this section as 1967 Late would be the same parts for the 1968 standard column. I don't know if the lower bearing that they have shown is exactly the same as the 7800407 Bearing Assembly that was the OEM part for 1967 Late and 1968.

    Also the 1967 Late telescoping steering column and the 1968 telescoping columns also used that same 7800407 lower bearing.

      Thank you Jim. I did look at the bearings and I see the 67L lower. I will give it a try.
