Learning as I go
While replacing my ignition lock cylinder I noticed the steering column will pull out about a half inch if I pull aft on the wheel. The shaft comes aft with the wheel but the coupler stays in place. Here's the shaft fully pushed into the coupler:
And here is the shaft pulled out by pulling aft on the wheel:
You can see the seal is pulled out a bit, and there's a little ring of rusty metal visible. There's also a small hole now visible on the shaft, right next to the seal. Here's a another view of that hole:
Is there supposed to be some kind of pin going into that hole that would hold the shaft into the coupler? This is the later collapsible steering column if it makes a difference.
