Trying to figure out the parts needed to replace the upper bearing that holds the steering shaft. Been searching a lot on anyone that has done this fix before. Issue is the steering wheel has a little bit of up/down , left/right, and push/pull - maybe a quarter inch in all directions. Found some bearing repair kit on eBay for 1992 and up Fords. Unable to find anything specific for the 2nd Gen expedition.
I got as far as removing the steering wheel and clock spring. Then I end up with this.
Does not look like the c-clips sold on eBay. No idea how to even remove it. I do know that there is something loose behind that retainer and it does appear to be some kind of bearing.
Anyone have any idea or references would greatly help. I’ve already taken it to a repair shop and they have no idea how to fix it, except to replace the entire steering column.
Thanks in advance.
