yeh it got me at first as i presumed his mate had clobbered the crap out of it while it was in the car to get the top bearing back in..it wasn till i posted this and then he rang me and told me the good column wouldnt bolt up under the dash that i started to think logically... i then aligned the planets and fired up the popcorn maker....

about time you listened to me....:shifty:

ok...one more clue...if you bolt his bent column back in the car it fits perfect....:eek:
but if you try to bolt the perfect column in its too long and will not bolt up under the dash...
