I hadn't paid much attention to the column since stripping the donor car last year. However, this evening I started cleaning up the column and saw that it was quite different to the one in the Haynes manual (haynes show's like a concertina).

in short.... has it collapsed???

Advice appreciated...

No its an adjustable column,
I thought the same but yours looks exactly like mine.

Another

NO!!!!!!!

Looks the same as mine apart from the welded washer in front of the spring is up inside the concertina bit.

the collapsable part is the spring part.

Also its the part where the triangle tube is the inner tube of the outer tube, in a accident that tube will slide further into the other tube.

Tks

Thanks guys, was about to throw a paddy this evening when I thought it might be scrap!

Will save cleaning it up until tomorrow night now...

Cheers

Do you feel like you are constipated?.........
