Choosing a lower column bearing
A lower steering column bearing supports the column near the steering gear area, and wear here shows up as play in the wheel and noise from under the dash. On the older Jeep models covered here, the bearing sits in a housing that must stay clean for smooth turning.
When choosing a bearing, match the year range, generation and position to your vehicle before buying. SJ, XJ and YJ generations can look similar, so check the model badge and chassis details first. Inspect the column coupler and steering gear input at the same time, since loose parts nearby can mimic bearing symptoms.
- Play at the wheel
- Noise from under the dash
- Rough turning of the column
- Rust in the housing
