Anybody have pictures of the lower steering column bearing itself, or of the assembled part where the intermediate shaft attaches to the lower column at the firewall?

Mine came apart......the shafts are all attached but the base of the column is very floppy. Just not sure exactly what part broke/fell off/failed, etc... None of the local autoparts store carry the lower column bearings. There is a piece on the shaft riding below the bearing retainer that I think is maybe the inner race? Then there is a plastic piece retain in the column housing. I think maybe the bearing came apart?
 
IIRC there is the metal cover with spring clip to hold it on, then the bearing and white plastic piece. I think that's it. I had a couple apart, wish I kept one for ya. :(

Check LMC and ClassicParts for the bearing, if you can't find it there, maybe someone can grab you one from the Jyard.
