I'm rebuilding my steering column and I see in the book there should be a steering shaft dust seal in the steering tube(inner tube not the black outer tube) that seals around the steering shaft. There was nothing there when I took it apart. Is there a part available or part number?
Thanks

Anybody have any idea's any pics I'm not sure what goes there?

Are you talking about the dust seal at the bottom of the shaft just above the nylon "bearing"? I used a length of 1 inch wide, black, spongy, medium closed cell, foam tape(non-adhesive backed). I rolled it around the tube until I got the desired thickness(it took about a foot), and secured it with a dab of weatherstrip adheasive.

No I did the same for that one. It's the inner tube steel finish and the solid steel shaft that goes to the steering box. I will take a picture if I can. The repair manual calls for a dust seal but there is no picture of it.

Here are the pics. What goes here? does anybody have one or know where to get one?

anybody know ?

I am pretty sure it is just a foam rubber tube like they have around copper pipes.

It is a medium density adhesive backed foam... about 3/4 inch wide. You can get it at you local hardware store. Cut it to length and put it on your column and you are done.

Thanks for the info guys. I was thinking it might be a bushing or bearing but thought it was strange that it was missing when I took it apart. There was no way for it to go anywhere. The foam would explain how it would have disappeared. Thanks

hmm,i thought 70 barracuda only had a foam dust seal behind the lower plastic bushing,on the lockout tube.ive only dismantled 2 -70 columns but both only had foam stripes glued? to the lock out tube,and those stripes of foam sealed to the outer column tube.
