the column its self is the exact same, it's just the shaft stickin out the bottom. So from the drivers seat... you can't tell becouse the wheel is in the exact same place... unless you opt to move it more for or aft.
The pins, there is no reason in the world to put them in again. The only reason they were there in the first place, was so the shaft wouldn't seperate when the workers were moving them from storage to assemblyline, and when installing them. Once bolted in place, it is physicly imposible for the shaft to extend, or contract, unless major body damage causes it.
