Dont know if 73-77' specific, or more widely used.
Took my steering column apart to clean it, and noticed missing items.

1976 Cutlass with non-tilt steering column is missing the wave washer at top of lower bowl bearing, and also the washer at lower bearing bushing, between the shift tube and lower bushing assembly.






Tried googling but turned out empty-handed. Leads for parts are also appreciated. Due to just moving, my parts catalog is MIA, no clue where to find it, so no GM part# to offer.

E: Wife found assembly manual. It wont either give part# for those, it just illustrates and marks it whole as an "assembly".

Shipping would be to Europe, Finland.

Thanks,
Jouni

 

I'll check my can of parts this afternoon. Might have this washer, but it would be from an A body column.

 

Thanks. I forgot to write its for 76 Cutlass, so A-body.

 

Try these guys. Worth a shot.

Thanks.

Already looked that through, and couldnt find what i was after.

 

Didn't find anything that would be the wave washer or the other flat washer. Sorry. I looked at the website mentioned above. Are you sure they don't show any of the parts you are looking for?

 

Okay, no harm done

Atleast i think so. Or i might have missed it. Ill send them e-mail, that way im atleast sure.

 

Its hard to visualize from the picture, but does the wave washer thing fit/go inside the lower bowl bearing? If i would know that, i could measure the needed size, and be able to look for local shops if they just might have something with dimensions to give.

 

Found the washer for lower bushing assembly locally
Taking trip to bearing-shop to chech through their wares for wave washer.

 

We managed to find a wave washer with correct OD ( i believe), and by meticously grinding the ID almost 6mm, we got it to fit. I dont know if its supposed to install as we did, but atleast its there and its all back together, working.

Thanks for everyone for help.
