 Wish I had read this before last week. It would seem that my plastic pin/s was indeed sheared and was in part the reason for the bushing in the fire wall getting wasted.

I have just replaced the bushing but am dashed to understand were the shear pin/s are located in the column. Is/are it/they in the section were the steel outter housing is like expanded metal plate with a plastic shroud that covers the opennings?

With out the shear pin/s in place the column keeps getting longer and the boss on the shaft for the bushing to act on keeps sliding out of the firewall and folding up the steering shaft uni-joints. Not a good situation!

Can you get at the pin location/s with the column in the car or will I have to take it out again?

Are there one or two of these shear pins?
