The Pontiac 6000 Upper Steering Column Bearing allows the steering wheel to turn smoothly and locks the steering shaft in the steering column firmly to give the driver a feel. The Upper Steering Column Bearing is located where the steering shaft meets the housing. It uses hardened steel balls that roll on a precision race, reducing friction even when tilt or telescoping hardware is present in the column. Every 6000 model, from early commuters to later performance trims, relies on the Upper Steering Column Bearing to maintain centering of the collapsible column to ensure that smooth road feedback remains tight. In early editions, a simpler sleeve was applied. However, the change to a ball-race Upper Steering Column Bearing increased load capacity, absorbed vibration, and prolonged service life, which made it a durable part. This upgrade proved essential as Pontiac's addition of heavy ignition locks, airbags, and more stalk switches can now exclusively be expected from the updated Upper Steering Column Bearing. The 6000 Upper Steering Column Bearing lessens play between the wheels and intermediate shaft, reducing driver fatigue on long trips and assisting power assist systems in operating at peak efficiency. Its sealed construction keeps contaminants out, while the polished raceway resists corrosion, giving this small but mighty part distinct characteristics that enhance the Pontiac name on roads across the world. Coupe and notchback owners report straightforward installation, and once in, the Upper Steering Column Bearing works quietly to improve steering precision without requiring you to pay constant attention to it. For anyone restoring or preserving a classic Pontiac 6000, the proper Upper Steering Column Bearing will protect the handling of the vehicle as well as the safety of the car by having the steering column accurately placed. Over the years, Pontiac drivers learned the 6000 stays composed, and a correctly kept Pontiac bearing helps any 6000 steer sharply on their beloved rides.
