Re: 1959 Apache question (damaged column)

Make sure you check for column wobble as previous poster recommended. Having the steering wheel turning eccentrically would be aggravating at best. This is a lesson on why buying an assembly and repair manual is the best investment a person can make. I was fortunate to get my grandfather and fathers vintage auto manuals, but reproductions are available. Also the PO could have taken 10 minutes on Youtube and found a video on how to do it correctly. They just lost patience.
