well.. we had to replace the column, cause it "collapsed" so we have a new collum... and we take out the old.... all is well.. go to stick the new one in.. and its a PITA ....

It wouldnt set right... LOTS of play...ect..ec.t...ec.t... well... now the shaft going through the steering box is is loose.. so the bottom hangs when bolted up.. and we still cant get it set right.. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Do you have a spare one Mar?

And that's gonna be Friday...and only if no rain....as an ex-UPS driver, that was the only weather I detested, I could work in anything else (including the 110 days...), but I hate getting rained on...
