yeah i did hit the column but made sure i didnt fuck the collapsing bit. the top half of the steering column is fixed in place, its the bottom part that collapses from a front end collision (when the engin ends up on your lap) every thing is fine and dandy luckily. | |

I must be one of the lucky ones, when I took my wheel off it almost came off in my hand, very little effort was needed. | |

I finally got my steering Boss through from the shop i bought it from a month ago, just wanted to know how to fit it, and more important how to remove the standard one. Its on there tighter than a nuns love hole.:! |
