Default Pivot pin part #

Does anyone know the part number for the tilt column pivot pins? Better yet, where to get them? I am going to tackle this issue soon and want to have new pins ready to install.

I have mine 3/4 apart now. Just ordered the special tool to remove the pin. Some fancy tilt wheel tool for $8.00

Did this about a year ago on my 91 - dont know if you have an early or late C4 - but if you have a late C4 with airbag, then chances are, the pins are fine (theyre hardened steel). The aluminum housings the pins are pressed into are likely elongated or reamed out.

I have a 1990 so should be same as yours. I also already have the aluminum housing all that stuff bolts too so if that is reamed out I can replace it.
