Steve40th UPDATE:Steering Wheel Quick Assistance Please

Any year can do this. Can you see if you can push your steering wheel in any amount, as if you are pushing against a spring. Just put your hand on the wheel, 9 and 3 positions then push straight down towards the steering column shaft to see if there is a little bit of spring/tension pushing back. It is not real light, so you need to push kinda hard.
I just redid the column but there is no actual position for the intermediate shaft that goes into the coupler right before the c/v joint. This shaft goes right into the coupler and has a 13mm bolt that jams the shaft in there. It is approximately right below the brake booster. And when you put the column back in, the FSM doesnt say where the how far down the shaft needs to go, then tighten the jam nut.
Thanks

I marked everything, but the one part (the housing) was a little different. Same part number, just a tad different. But, anyways, can you push on your wheel at all and it go down as if a spring is pushing it?
I think I will take it down again.

Okay, the critical step in doing this job is to ensure intermediate shaft with jam nut is in same position it was a beginning of job, if you take the column out of car. I fixed the column yesterday. Basically tore it down to where you can see the bearing races and upper shaft. The shaft was up to high, so I loosened jam nut, set bearing and shaft where it needed to be and voila, all is well now.
