Not in the early floor shift columns. There might be something in the column shift setup. The floor shift column has a rubber and nylon type of seal arrangement at the bottom but not a bearing. Here are the two columns I'm working with. I need to convert my red column over to PS from manual steer so I'm parting out the blue column and putting the parts in my red column.
that should be a simple swap. I had a piece made for the shaft to fit thru to fill that bottom column void. seemed it needed something.
