upper steering column bearing

[forestb]

Has anyone tried replacing the upper bearing in the steering column? I am thinking of something that is of better quality than the normal one that comes in the turn signal switch. Mine has a lot of up and down play. I have in the past replaced the plastic turn signal switch which includes a new bearing and that's the one that has play and I think my previous one had play also. I have seen the replacement one that classic industries sell so please don't send me that link.
