steering and handeling help, 73 duster

I keep running into more and more problens with my car. My Dad and I were looking it over lastnight and the steering shaft coming out of the steering column housing on the firewall is laying on the column housing. So what I mean is the steering shaft is rubbing on the bottom of the housing. This can't be right? The steering box bolts are tight but the steering box still flexes? Weak or bent k frame??
