Ford for $6 each, part # F4DZ-3517-A, F3TZ-3517-A and a ring kit F0DZ-3L539-F that consists of the 2 bushings above the upper bearing, the spring, C-clip and a new bolt for the steering wheel. Kit was $15.
And more that I saved :..
Small upper bearing ford part # F4DZ-3517-A
Large lower bearing Ford part # F3TZ-3517-A
I also purchased a new steering colomn service kit that included the parts that go on after the bearings – before the steering wheel.
Kit includes:
Tolerance ring
Steel upper bearing sleeve
Upper bearing preload spring
Snap ring
If you have tilt steering the heavy spring makes it kind of a pain, but if I can do it anyone
can.
The two bearings list price at Ford dealer cost $7.33 each.
The service kit list price was $22.13

I have a few parts I can send you off my 95's steering column.
Just hope you dont want anything regarding wire's. I kinda ... well sacrificed them to the steeringwheel mod.
I'm pretty sure I didn't brake my plastic cover for it either, I could be wrong.
Mine is from manual though.
pm me if you need anything.

well i found all the parts and sorta fixed it i ended up messing up the bushing that came with the kit some i'm gonna have to re do it all over again but it's a lot better than it was it was so bad before it broke all the teeth off the cam that cancels out the turn signal and it broke all the pieces that hook up the cruise control and horn so either i take it back apart and fix it right and not mess up or i find another column but hey atleast it's better and buys me some time but i did end up getting my window replaced and window motor nice to have those back working still got another problem with the engine but thats another post
