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.
