Steering Column Bearing Part Number?

[M. Hebert]

I am looking at tackling the infamous steering rattle in my 2011 2500HD. I plan on replacing both the intermediate shaft and the steering column bearing. I have located the shaft online, but am not sure if the column bearing Part # 905-512 will fit my truck. Everything online says no.

 

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Before you replace the lower bearing, try the clamp method.  My steering column knocked for more than 10 years.  Replaced 3 intermediate shafts and no change. After wasting hours replacing the column bearing to the green one the problem persisted.  Found an article on this site that people were using a 2" hose clamp or muffler clamp installed around the column, just above the bearing.  Noise was gone. All for $1.30 and 5 minutes time.

Hmmm. Interesting. I'll try it. Thanks.

Here's the link to one of many articles on the subject.
