My son replaced his steering box and switched from power to manual and used a adapter on the stub of the box to the shaft, we didn't like the slop in the shaft where it came out of the steering column so we ordered and installed a bearing in the end of the column, ( see previous post here, " bushing or not " ) BTW this is a 70 Duster 4 spd car, the problem now is the distance between the adapter and factory coupler on the end of the steering column shaft is a bit short, and we can not just lengthen the shaft by sliding it apart because the taper at the end of the shaft would not allow the bearing we installed to sit in the end of the column ( it would be pushed out) sooòoo...my question is do they make different lengths of couplers? It wouldn't need to be that much longer maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch? Anyone run in to this before?
