Steering column lower roller bearing

[Manursr]

Hello everyone, 

New on the forum I just bought a 110 double cab pick up 2008 puma TD4 2.4 Spectre replica.

I'm from Belgium near France border of Lille.

Awesome car but with some technical problem.

Does somenone has the size and/or model of the lower roller bearingof the steering column?

Mine is literally missing and I would like to order one before to disassamble everything

On my late 300tdi (so '98), the lower bearing was the lower bearing was 22.5mm id, 35.7mm od, 9.5mm wide, and marked INA F-49273.2

I don't know if the bearing is the same in the various different columns (at least 3 different part numbers). There was a change around 2008, but I would guess there's a decent chance the bearing is the same size.

Thanks for your reply!

Is already the steering coumn on a 300 TDI a 48 spines?

These are not accurate measurements for that bearing I have stripped a few columns and now come up with a solution that’s viable

Why not help out by posting the accurate measurements then?

The bearing is imperial size  0.875" by 1.406"

The older column part no is 22x36 2RS. Managed to order 22x36x9.5mm bearing from a  local supplier. When I get them if they fit will share the make and part no.

so , i'm in the same boat now , while removing the steering wheel from the French donor for the Eurover project , the lower bearing fell apart . so i'm on the hunt for a bearing also ...

 

i e-mailed https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com to see if they can supply us with the right make and model (or a bearing ...) , not much hope on a decent outcome , but you never know ....

Will let you know if the bearing I ordered is any good. Might be a couple of weeks tho as it's on order.

Probably better off just buying a column then as from what I found it was a special bearing not available

or a off the shelf bearing with "speedsleave's" to make them fit .

We'll see about that, I ordered a couple of 22x36x9.5mm bearings from my local bearing shop which may be the right ones.

Doubt you'll find any that fit without machining the steering shaft. Closest commercialy available bearings I found is 20x32x10mm

[hurbie]

i seem to have found the one 🙂 

from my measurements i have this :

outside 35.8mm or 1.40" (1 13/32") don't know if this is the correct translation

inside 22.2 or 0.87" (7/8" ) this is the shaft size , not the inside off the bearing)

thickness 9.6mm 0.37" (3/8")

 

and after a long time googling i found this : 

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/153998864061

if you scroll down the bottom it state's the size's in inches and they seem to match .

 

way to expensive , so i keep hunting 🙂 

[muzaz]

The size seems right, but as you said, expensive.

The pair I ordered were 15€ each, still expensive for what they are but better than a complete column, just hope they fit. Once I get them, I'll update you if they fit properly and the part no

got an answer from Landrover  , not much use   "Landrover never serviced the bearing seperatly" 

on my question who made the steeringshaft's the answer was "not allowed to share supplier information"

 

so , not much help.

 

the good news is that a replacement column is still availeble  :  QMB101620

The original bearing is made by ina but it’s not listed anywhere at all

Just a thought how is the inner column on Series vehicles held so it can rotate, 

Anyone looked if it's bearings or bronze oiled bushes?
