Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

Had Misty out today and finally cleaned and painted the wiper linkage, pressed in the grease fittings in the pivots and finally figured out how the whole thing goes together with the help of the assembly picture I found in another post on this site. Going to put it in one evening this week since I finally found the bushings at Advance Auto Parts in the HELP isle. They look solid, but I am also calling my local dodge dealer to see if they can get them too.
Also had time to remove the coupler from the steering column and clean and remove all the old grease and the shoes. When I took the coupler off the steering box, the wheels were straight and the coupler, for lack of a better description was up with the opening for the large pin on top. What happens if it goes back together and the splines are off by one, one way or the other?
