thought id ask the question on here but we are finding it hard to see how the steering column fit right to the steering rack

do we need to shorten the steering column for it al to work right :blush:

Hi,I assume you have a Sierra or similar column.These are designed to collapse in an impact so have a telescopic section.On the Sierra it is the triangular cross-section part which slides in/out of the upper section.This can be carefully pushed in with some force to shorten the overall length,but must still leave more travel to protect the driver in an accident.

Cheers Mike

Hi our steering column is to short and we are having to extend this, also the splines on the sierra column do not match the escort rack, but this may be due to the donor having adjustable steering and a power rack?

The power rack does have a different connection.

I used the bottom section from the power column mated to the top section of a standard column.

(I use a power rack)

They both use the standard triangular connections.

I reckon you need to visit a scrappy & get the bottom part of a standard column.
