dust/hot engine compartment air seal and white plastic retainer from the factory. You can add a bearing there if you want. I did this mod on mine and it was pretty easy since I was redoing the steering joint anyway. Pin has to come out and I had to do a little sanding on the shaft and grinding on the bearing to get it to slide on. Here is the how to and part number, got mine from amazon. http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=91398.0

This from an original column/ I think the E body column with a lower bearing came out in 74,,,MAYBE 73 prior to that was just a dust seal and retainer 1970 has a lower support with snap ring to hold it in

Took them 4 or years to realize it "may" be needed. Therefore guessing it's a good upgrade for all years.
