I've got a bearing # of F43188. I can't find the stupid thing anywhere. Anyone know where I can get one? It's the bearing that sits inside the column.

Is yours destroyed? Mine rattled quite a bit and seemed a little loose, but I sprayed it out with brake cleaner and packed it with good grease and made it much better.

Not destroyed but it is rattly and tough. I guess I can try and spray it out but I'm not sure how well it'll be. I contacted the company labeled on the bearing to see if they have a replacement.

Well, if you can get measurements, you might be able to find an equivalent in a bearing catalog.

The bearing for the 914 column will fit the column on the 924 (NLA).
I gather you mean the one in the ign switch housing.

That's the one!
I went to new house here in redmond and they looked for the same OD/ID/Thickness on the bearing and cannot find anything of equivalent.
914 bearing it is then. I'll try clean and regrease first as rasta had suggested though.

still feels awesome. Some carb cleaner and new grease and it feels like new.
