DRR Trophy |
I use two delrin bushings in my steering column I purchased from RJ Racecars.I have looked around for a shouldered bushing with needle bearings in hopes of a better feel but with no luck. Anyone know of a bearing source I may have overlooked? Thanks | ||

Try Grainger, that's where I got my step bushings. IHRA ACDELCO Canadian Nationals Top/et Iron Man Champion  57 Don Davis Super Gas Corvette  SDPC 582 Head Hunter on methanol | |||

I don't think I have ever seen a shouldered needle bearing. You could have replacement bushings made from Teflon®. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

McMaster-Carr has the shouldered bushings ( not needle bearing) in all sizes. I rebuit a dragster a few years ago and that is where I got them. They are great for all sorts of stuff. I have 50' of 1/4 quick connect tubing being delivered today that cost me $6. | |||

Yeah, I buy tons of stuff from them and we use lots of bushings although not usually from them. I was talking about the needle/sleeve bearings with a shoulder. If he has Acetal/Delrin bushings now not much will have less friction other than Teflon® or a bearing. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

Does it have to have the shoulder could you machine tube to use snap rings to hold bearings | |||

Try looking up flanged bearings may find something that way | |||

MCS, 3/4 Bore x 1 3/8 OD Flanged. 5.48 Each. The OD may be to big for your column though. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/60967726 Dave "It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance." -Thomas Sowell | |||

Monte, you may be able to find a caged roller bearing [something like an alternator front bearing] that would be a slip fit on the shaft and just a fit in the outer tube. You could "trap" it in the outed tube with screws or rivets. Larry Woodfin | |||

Maybe even use a different size outer tube if necessary Larry Woodfin | |||

A needle or roller bearing will require less steering effort. On builds where I removed an OE column and replaced it with a custom tubing column, the steering effort does increase. Larry Woodfin | |||

Thank you all, Larry I will find a bearing that will work. | |||
