Hi

It is std Sierra parts so should be available from just about any motor factors for little money or if feeling flush from a ford dealer.

Cheers Matt

better bet would be to fit a self aligning bearing

Hi

The only reason to fit a self aligning bearing is if the top and bottom mountings are not aligned ( rather obvious ). Which is a common problem to only two manufacturers otherwise the Sierra unit work just fine.
Those self alignment bearings look like something rather agricultural.
And just look at all the extra weight added to those BEC cars.

Cheers Matt

thanks again all.

im ordering one today.

been a long painful process getting the steering ready but im done now.
