Hi Derek. I've been through this not long ago. Tell us what seems to be the problem. As brad has suggested, I had this issue but no real dramas. Cheers Ron

Hi Ron
Was reinstalling column and was having trouble fitting to bottom coupling also noticed
That is to short at the wheel end .
Is there a fix for this one or do I need to get another
Thanks
Derek

Hi Derek. Have a read of my thread "Removing Lower Bearings from Steering Column". Sorry I can't paste it. Post #26 has some info on collapsing the shaft. No real dramas from what I have researched/done just another sub project or two to get it back right. BTW, in my case the inner and outer shafts were extremely tight and you wouldn't have thought they had moved. First thing I would do is measure the shaft and see if it's shorter than 910mm and that will give you an indication of whether or not it has collapsed. Cheers Ron
