Quote: The adapter thing is a total scam. I've taken several power and manual steering columns apart over the years, and the internal shaft (sliding part) is THE SAME! Chrysler used "plastic rivets" to create just enough drag on the sliding part of the shaft to keep it from flopping around while being handeled on the assembly line.
I always thought the purpose of those rivets was to provide "crush" in the event of a front end collision!
