I purchased the superseded # bearing 4147318. and I am not sure I am going to use it. It is not a sealed bearing, dirt/moisture can get in, inside diameter is slightly larger then the original making it sloppy on the shaft. Would like to know if someone has the original part # of the bearing before it was superseded to 4147318, John.




That's weird, because that bearing fit just right on the 2 71 and 74 columns that I have rebuilt.

Yea it's a open design bearing, but that's how Mopar made em.
A little grease packed in em will make last another 25 years.
