Steering Column Repair: steering column, ford steering column, f350 ford

Question
I have a 1997 F350 ford truck. My steering wheel started to wobble the last couple of days and now my steering does not lock and my ignition is locked and doesn't turn when the key is in.I took the steering apart and it looks like the upper bearing needs to be replaced. How do I pull out the steering shaft and the bearing to replace this bearing and do I need to replace the ignition or what part to get the steering to lock and get the key to turn on? Thanks for your help.

Hi Steve:

We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to rebuild the upper portion of a Ford steering column.  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions on our website. Although the example is for a 2000 Mustang, the column is identical to yours (tilt and non tilt use the same housing)

I hope these instructions help you.  If not, please contact me again for more information.
Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply email us on our "Contact Us / Order Parts" page and we will get back in touch with you personally.  We stock and sell all of the parts you will need for this job.

Good luck

Doug
