im having a hell of a time finding this bushing, its the lower one on the column. its a little plastic one. i've called everywhere and i went to national parts depot no one even lists such a thing, all i can find are ones for a 2wd column, any ideas on where to look?
Have you tried Ford directly? It,s possible there is one in there system yet. Maybe Bill Numberdummy will step in. He can find anything if it ever can be found.
Click on the .pdf link, is the part you're looking for basic p/n 3D681? If it is, the part number you need is:
Retainer assy, steering column lower bearing.
D3TZ-3D681-A Bearing, sleeve and retainer assy.
Fits 73-up F100-250 4WD from s/n S40,001
78-up F100-350
I couldn't locate any at the dealers I have access to.

Any luck on finding this? I am also in need of this part my shaft is wobbling all over
I never had any luck either on that plastic part, none anywhere
do remember that bronco graveyard had a fabbed-up replacement, did not think very highly of it, so I made an aluminum one for my '76.
check if they still have it, should work ok, just looked junkie to me
That's link is not to the right part...at least the one I understand we are talking about. I know because I need it, too, and looked at that piece before.
