Sierra steering column upper bearing
The upper bearing in my sierra steering column has completely collapsed 
Does anyone know if I can get a replacement bearing (and where from) or should I just source another column??
Any help much appreciated
Ben

Thanks for taking the time to find that for me but I already have that bearing.
Maybe I haven't explained it very well but its the bearing that sits in the column right up behind the steering wheel, it sits almost in line
with the indicator stalks.

That's the lower one I think. That's the mount for mounting the column to the car isn't it?? That bearing may well be the same as
the upper one but like I said it sits further up the column towards the steering wheel.

It comes out with a few gentle taps with a drift. Be carefull you don't loose the plastiic spacer/indicator canceller or the serated
washer/spacer that go between the bearing and the steering wheel. There'll be loads of play without them... and thats often been the cause of
people thinking their bearing is knackered.

Thanks for the advice, I can assure you its definately the bearing as I can see loads of ball bearings floating around all over the place in there!
