In my experience, if you go to a bearing dealer, they can duplicate or cross reference the numbers. 7990785-19-39Steering.wiring1.jpg (223 downloads) If you don't see two dolphins, you need a vacation.

That's all it has is like 4 ball bearings so corrosion and such can cause it to fall apart pretty easy, it's a really cheap bearing.

Hey guys, that's why I volunteered to give you the numbers off it so you could go to a bearing dealer and buy the exact same thing or better for $7.52 plus tax...

Need one for my 68 Charger, I believe its the same. Mine isnt making any noise, but it wiggles a bit on the shaft so Im assuming its toast...

In 1969 this bearing, originally PN 2925491, fit all cars exept tilt and telescopic. Maybe the same for some other years too. What makes this ultra low-speed bearing too special to be generic looks to be that it is unsealed, too crude, too small, and too un-robust. Besides that, the outer race is mounted in a rubber insulator that makes this application unusual. Starting with the 3/4" ID, the smallest OD I found for generic is 1-3/8", but this part is only 1-3/16". Also generics are thicker. There are 12 balls in my original. Head scratcher - the rubber insulator has a mashed staple through it, maybe as an electrical conductor between the bearing and the mount? If you don't see two dolphins, you need a vacation.
