If it is, there should be a relieved area in the splined section so that the retaining bolt will fit through the clamp, pass into the rel; /html/mgs/2003-07/msg00509.html (8,473 bytes)

In an accident it is supposed to slide inwards as easily as possible. Usually these shafts are really sticky from old grease. When clean they are a smooth fit, not an interfer; /html/mgs/2003-07/msg00524.html (8,358 bytes)

Let me give you a better visual. Remove the bolt holding the lower shaft in the clamp, and pull away the rack and the lower shaft. Now; /html/mgs/2003-07/msg00525.html (8,614 bytes)

It freely sliding in and out is the correct mode of operation? /// or try htt; /html/mgs/2003-07/msg00526.html (7,930 bytes)

The one in my SD1 which I just pulled out last month definitely had no shear pins, but tho similar it is not the exact same design.; /html/mgs/2003-07/msg00529.html (8,111 bytes)

Just wasn't sure if the plastic was what allowed the shafts to slide further into one another and effect the collapse, or if, as you said, one of the metal parts deforms.
