Steering Shaft ???

Red, I understand what your saying and that does make sense.

Before I installed this shaft I did look at the plastic injection points and they were all there and in place. That is why I choose to install it into the column. Now that I noticed we could pull on it I just wonder if those plugs dont always fall out when the column is collapsed. I have the power steering shaft and a firm feel adapter. Do you think I should just remove this manual one and install that set up?

I dont have those firm feel parts. I could replace the sheer pin(s) with abs since I do have that material on hand. Plast-aide might be a good substitute this application.
