Default Steering Shaft Bushing

Anyone know the part number to this thing or how to get one. Its the bushing on the steering shaft just after the shaft comes through the firewall into the engine compartment. I have a picture to help. I went to the dealer and they were like, "duhhh i dont know, its not avail" So does anyone know where to get one, besides trying to pull one off a junk car. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

I know my picture is pretty dark but that rag joint is down by the rack, the bushing that I have play in is up at the firewall. Its held in with a spring clip around the outside of it.

Since you got me a little curious, I went to the "gmpartshouse.com" site, and went through their "drill-down" parts menu. I didn't see that particular part shown, but they had several exploded illustrations of the steering column. Maybe you could explore a little further there. Go to "steering" and then you'll get a bunch of sub sections....

Hey thanks for the info, I had checked gmpartsdirect.com and they had an exploded picture of the steering coulmn, but It didnt look the same as whats on the car, or I couldnt find that peice, ill try your site. I may have to get one from a scrap yard, i would think its the same for v6's and v8's

Any luck on this? I got the same clunk it appears to be from that bearing where the shaft goes into the firewall?
