Can anyone help me out here?
I bought a new lower steering shaft bearing for my '68 Road Runner (4spd on the floor, power steering). The inside diameter of the bearing is 1", but my steering shaft is 3/4" dia. This is the way it is in my car, too (as pictured below), but I thought that the old bearing was just badly worn.
Now I'm wondering if I have the correct steering shaft in my car.
Can anyone with a similar B-body tell me what the diameter of their steering shaft is, at the lower bearing (under the hood, at the firewall)?
Does it make sense that the bearing dia. is 1/4" larger than the shaft dia.?
I was going to do this bearing replacement early tomorrow morning (Feb 02) but now I'm wondering if this makes any sense.
Thanks for any help or info!
