Anyone know where I can locate the two little clips that go into the upper steering column as it enters the lower column? The Haynes manual calls them anti-rattle clips. So far I've had no luck finding them anywhere. This is for an 89 5.0. I think they are the same for tilt and non-tilt. Thanks!

I'm assuming you're talking about the plastic shroud that goes around the steering column? I took my 1990 one apart last year. No clips. The top one has pegs, the bottom one has female ends and then use 2 screws to tightned them together.

Nope, actually I mean two metal clips that go onto the bottom of the upper steering column. They serve as a sort of compression spring for the collapsing feature of the column. When it's all assembled they are on the upper column but inside the lower column.

Had to look in a shop manual to see what you were talking about. Shop manual also calls them anti-rattle clips. If the dealer didn't have them, then I'd think a junkyard would be the next place to look.
