Please Help... Loose steering wheel.
I have a very lose steering wheel shaft.
All the bolts are tight.
I have taken off the steering wheel and removed the electrical part of the turn signal. The steering column is tight.
The steering shaft is very lose.
I can pick metal out in betwen the shaft.
Where would be a good place to find a replacement of the whole steel wheel column ?
If I use Ford dealership it would cost over $1,000 to replace.
I have tried junk yards but they do not have any.
Thanks in advance.

Replace the bearings that the shaft rides in. Ya can't buy the whole assembly from Ford. You would have to buy it in pieces it's not gonna cost a grand. Go to the Ford dealer parts department and look at the blow up they have. You will be able to determine what you need.

I found a whole steering system at a junk yard for $ 200.
I took apart and all three sets of bearing were bad.
$36 eacr bearing X 3 = $120 vs. whole new system for 200.
Now I have some spare parts.
Thanks.
