Default steering rack INA needle bearing.

Anyone ever source the small needle bearing on our steering racks? The little INA bearing that seals the bottom of the housing. Mine is broken. Need to source new one.

I tore mine up tightening the upper bolts once after I had it apart. I was able to source one locally relatively easily based on the numbers printed on the bearing.

Looks like I bought mine from these guys. Might try them if the usual sources (eBay, etc...) don't turn up anything.

Thanks for the info guys.

I see a couple on ebay......but LOL they want 50.00$ for shipping. I will get a friend in the US to get some from your E.B. Atmus source if I can't get locally.

This seems to be quite common. On a couple of occasions I have contacted the seller and it turns out that the actual shipping cost is much less than what is advertised . . . . but sometimes that is actually what it costs!
