deziped1 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 89 MJ w auto on column 4L. Pulled steering column out to replace worn out bearing and the large green plastic cup the bearing snaps into. The inside firewall cover plate on column shaft serves as the retainer of the plastic piece holding the bearing by way of 3 screws. The plastic piece is aprox 2" deep and 1 7/8" OS diam. Bearing OS diam approx. 1 11/16. I can't find these parts on line. Maybe they are used only on the automatic with column shift. Seems ever body sells the small clip on retainer & bearing kits. Any one have a clue where to buy the ones I need? The plastic part is marked CAV 2 followed by 7847825. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It's a GM column, so you can probably get one from a GM parts department. Chryco part # is J448 6713. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped1 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 No problem getting the bearing. What I need is the green plastic known as (depending on whom your talking to) adapter/bearing cup/retainer. The Chrysler Part #83502561 according to Chrysler dealer is obsolete and they cannot order it. This part is held in column by screws and not a wire clip.
