steering column shaft

Keep in mind that the plastic that keeps the shaft from lengthing or shortening will be gone and the only thing keeping it the correct length will be the coupler.

While true, I believe it's a non issue. I believe the only reason the plastic injection was there, was for the assembly line.

I built an electric assist column and used a universal borgeson telescoping shaft to the coupler. So it will collapse if I get into an accident.
