regarding the spline alignment, that and the next message by kerry have a good point. there will be the possibility of being off one spline, the lower shaft has 36 splines so one spline is 10 degrees, the upper 48 so thats 7.5 degrees. So worst case is youre off exactly 1/2 spline, 5 degrees on the bottom, or the upper is 3.75 degrees max.
that could be enough to be an issue maybe

I think there's an interaction between the two splines that reduce the maximum offset even more.
Eg, very worst case the lower spline is off by 5 degrees (one-half spline). Then you still have the steering wheel alignment to contend with,
which is off by a maximum of 3.75 degrees. Seems like those two would be subtractive -- ie, plus or minus 3.75 from the 5 degrees offset, for a total
absolute maximum possible misalignment of the steering wheel of 1.25 degrees when the wheels are pointed straight ahead. You could probably
get it even closer by pulling the steering wheel off of its splined fitting and moving it over one.

At least that seems like how it should work... not sure what I'm missing.
I've a suspicion the different shaft size and spline counts they chose weren't accidental.
