Frank, is it a two-piece column?

If so, the two pieces must align with each other exactly or the steering will
be quite stiff.

There are adjustments on both the unit mount and the upper shaft for doing
this. Kinda fiddly, but necessary.

I put the coupler on one side and pull the upper column out, the slide it into
the coupler as I watch. If the coupler moves, I adjust and try again.

And again. Until the coupler is stationary when the shaft slides in.
