Where the column comes thru the firewall, there is an accordian type 
seal or grommet.
You should center the shaft in the hole in the f/wall by adding or 
removing shims under the aluminum mounting point inside the footwell.
Keep the steering rack loose on it's mounts so you can twist the rack to 
fit the shaft perfectly as this will help center the shaft in the hole too.
