67 beau steering column

I have seen/ heard others aswell. What makes my lower steering column rattle as I drive , I can't isolate it by touching anything and I have heard there is a lower bearing or something at fault but I have not been able to find any info on it. Any ideas? Chad

Yes, it likely is the lower bearing and although I don't drive A bodies I've seen a number of the first generation A's with bad bearings. I can check for you if it's still available from GM. It seems to me it's discontinued but I think someone out there in repro land sells a replacement for it.

I'm really curious about this too because my 68 Parisienne does the exact same thing.

Chad, have you checked it more carefully?

There is a plastic cup/retainer that holds that bearing I think. Maybe just the plastic is broken.

I will pull the column out and look. I know of a gold car that does the same thing.
