    My 73 cj5 needs steering column bearings. Upper and lower, manual Saginaw. I have found several vendors for lower, but no upper bearings. I'm sure there out there. ?????????????

    I think 73 uses the same upper bearing as the earlies.

    The upper bearing is a 801422, which is a Willys-era number you should be able to source many places. The bottom bearing is a 999769. Mike Mcruff made a replacement bottom bearing from brass for me.

    Shouldn't this be in Tech? But I'm just an idiot here so I don't know.
