Power steering shaft

[muddacres]

I just got done redoing my steering column. For some reason the shaft don't look long enough for power steering.

Bet the shear pin on the shaft is broken

Does anybody have a measurement or a picture of power steering column?

I agree with 65 dartman probably the shear pin.

If you could just measure form the end of shaft to the column tubing. That will give me overall idea.
Thanks

There is a plastic like stuff that the factory injected into the steering shafts so if you get in a accident it collapses. I wish I could tell you how to fix it I have heard of ppl drilling a hole threw both shafts and put a plastic pin in it to hold it. Mine slides in and out also but the stuff they put in there makes it hard to push/pull it I`m putting a flaming river U joint and shaft in my car so its not such a big deal.

I think the best thing is to take it back apart. Practice makes perfect. :wack:
