Review on 🔧 Crown Automotive Steering Bearing Kit 4487696K by Robert Cooper

Bearing started to run tight and smooth. The plastic sleeve is too tight to assemble. The OEM version is split for easier assembly. The new one doesn't. So I used my old plastic collar along with new parts. Be sure to lubricate the bearing, shaft and shoulder so everything slides better and is lubricated at least initially. The GM design is easy to service, but poorly protected against dirt and water ingress into the storage area.
