Except the guys that engineered the system still used a steering joint that allowed for slip even with the 2 piece steering shaft. Because despite being 2 pieces that are supposed to collapse in case of an accident, it's not designed to take up that slip.
A simple fix isn't always the best.
This is what I did with mine. Not saying it's the best way to do it either, but it does account for the same movement that the factory joint can handle and a simple u-joint can't. Steering shaft upgrade
