Great to hear that it was a "small" problem. Wish all mine had been smallish. Have a Merry Christmas and a great new year. Regards, Bryan

I have had 2 colums replaced. Went from an automatic colum shift, power steering to a manual box. Colum/shaft was too long and we removed 1/2" from the shaft to get it to fit. Just went through adding OEM power steering back. (getting too old to crank the wheel and do 6 point parking...
