Default Steering Column Lower Bearing Question

Can someone please send me an assembly diagram of the lower
bearing assembly ? I have pulled the steering column out & found the bearing 1/2 inch out of the shaft. I think I have figured it out, but I think some parts are broken or worn.

I dont have a manual yet. What is the best one to start with & where can I get a copy.

Thanks for any help in advance.


After thought.

It has been converted to right hand drive, so the the information may not be 100% fix.

Does this picture help?



The bearing is a press fit into the plastic adapter.
The standard (non-adjustable) column has a coil spring behind the bearing adapter. The T&T column does not have a spring.

Jim is the resident steering guru, those are his hands in that picture.

Seriously he has been the guy to ask about steering in general.
