ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly for a steering column includes an axially spaced pair of stamped, angular contact ball bearings with raceways terminating on the ball circle and at least an outer cylindrical support member engageable with the mast jacket of the steering column. A spring or springs contained in the annular space between the ball circles of the bearings and the housing or between the ball circles and the steering shaft serve to preload the ball bearings as well as to bias them into stop members on the support to maintain the bearings and support as a separately handled unit.
