[ThreeQuarter]

Thanks for the tips. I have loosened everything (strap under dash, clamp at firewall, spring/clamp below lower bearing) and tried pushing the column housing up to meet the wheel. It moves up and down, but there’s a nub in a slot that stops me from going as far as I want to. And yes, my upper bearing has too much freedom.

How much pressure does it take to compress the.sliding joint on the shaft? I think I only need 3/8”.
