steering gear parts

I am in need of the bearing and grooved washer that the bearing runs in on top of the worm gear in the steering box. In the Warner Steering Gear page I believe it is called a "thrust bearing." Can I find a modern replacment or would anybody have these that they could part with. The grooved washer, as i am calling it, is craked and broken and the balls are falling out of the flat circular bearing.

Thanks again to everyone for there help, I hope I am not becoming to much of a nuisance with all my questions.

Re: steering gear parts

Gary, You are right, need balls for sure. In the bearings that is.

It's a 1923 Star C Touring. Based on the Warner Steering Gear info on the tech page, it is obviously not a Warner Steering Gear.

Thanks,
Tony
