As I was assembling the steering column I noted that the splined part of the shaft that sticks out the bottom wasn't stickin' out far enuf. I wasted a few hours mostly thinking and studying the book - until I found that the two piece shaft had been compressed from sheered plastic pins or whatever that allows the shaft to compress and not stick through the driver in an accident. I haven't inspected closely enuf to decide how I'm gonna keep that shaft at full length and wonder if anyone has had the same issue and what they might have done.

Likely my fault in man-handling the column in disassembly.
