Steering Shaft Support Bearing 1-1/2in Mnt

The Steering Shaft Support Bearing 1-1/2in Mnt from Wehrs Machine is a precision component designed to eliminate steering column play and vibration in high-performance and custom vehicles. This bearing assembly addresses a common issue in modified cars where factory steering geometry has been altered or where extended shaft lengths create deflection under cornering loads. Whether you're building a race car, hot rod, or street machine, this support bearing locks down your steering column and prevents the wandering, dead-zone steering feel that plagues poorly supported shafts.

Built to Wehrs Machine's reputation for manufacturing-grade durability, the bearing features a mounting diameter that integrates into custom steering column installations with precision tolerances. The compact footprint makes it suitable for tight engine bay layouts without sacrificing load capacity. The bearing design reduces radial runout and lateral movement that would otherwise transfer into steering feedback and control loss, particularly critical during aggressive acceleration or high-speed cornering where column flex can compromise safety and driver confidence.

This support bearing is ideal for fabricators, engine builders, and enthusiasts undertaking complete steering column relocations or custom shaft extensions. Installation requires mounting to a solid structural point—typically the firewall or a structural brace—to ensure optimal performance. With its lightweight design and robust construction, this bearing is a must-have for any serious automotive project.
