Loose shaft in column

The preload distance depends on the year of your truck. The preload distance is measured between the large washer and the bottom of the bearing where the spring sits. On a '67 the distance is 7/8". I think the others are listed in the chassis service manuals.

Lock I just read a post you made a few years back explaining that (along with this one), went out and I’ll be. It worked perfect! Took about 2 mins and that included getting out the wrench and putting it away! Thanks for the info.
