kramttocs Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Anyone know the purpose of these white plastic things on the shift shaft? First thought was as a slide against the outer sleeve but the inner shaft should be suspended away from it. Second was that they kept the two piece shaft together but seems like an odd material for that . Nevermind. Looks like they are some kind of retaining setup.

Rembrant Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I need that plastic collar at the bottom - if anyone has one Do you mean the one at the very bottom end of the column? It's still available from Ford for about $8 bucks, or at least it was a couple years ago when I bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll grab a couple of the lower bearing retainers and can ship you one if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't know the part number, but I bought a new one from a local Ford dealer only a year or so ago. It was less than 10 bucks if I recall correctly. It's the bearing inside it that is hard to find. I ended up buying one from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard because I couldn't find it anywhere else. It's a weird little bearing with an O-ring in it.
