My sack of lemons....
Ended up needing to shorten my aftermarket column. I bought a 30" thinking I needed the shaft length of that and was worried the 28" would be to short. Long story short, a 28" would've been a dead ringer in all cases. I got this one as a blem for cheap or I would've just swapped it for a 28". This was about a 3-4 hour little project that I wouldn't enlist on my worst enemy lol....
