Manual vs Power Steering Shafts
In taking the 2 columns apart I discovered some differences..
With the brake away plastic separating the upper and the lower shafts, it looks like they though a ground clip was in order. This clip makes a ground path from the steering wheel, to the steering shaft, to the steering box, to the frame.
In taking the 2 columns apart I discovered some differences..
- The 67 column uses 2 hex head screws and 2 square nuts to attach the upper decorative part with the steering shaft bearing and turn signal switch to the outer column, while the 68 uses 2 square headed T bolt and 2 hex nut
- I found a steering shaft ground clip (Section 19-15-04 PN6015501) in the 67 column but not in the 68 column (see photos). The parts book still calls it out in 68 but did they add a ground in the turn signal wiring in 68 up?
- The obvious lower shaft bearing
