Steering Collar Adjustment - Experiencing Steering Wheel Vibration

[Ozzie Goat]

Let the experts tell you, but your installation looks different than mine.

More of the black rod showing, more severe angle.
Don't know about related vibrations.

I have more images, if they would help.

edit: isn't that u-joint rubbing the inner fender and/or the hard brake lines there ??

I see what you mean, but no there's no rubbing there. Might be the angle of the picture but there's little room there, enough for it not to rub.

did backdraft have a batch of bad steering column bearing/collar.? Mine has 1433 miles ,lower collar has a lot of play and as collar is a bad design or a bad part, as inner piece of collar barely has any overlap into chrome round collar tube . I Loosened set screws and pushed all the way into steering column and tighten. because of u-joints below there's a little back and forth which makes it loose again , My upper is very loose also, have not taken apart yet. steering and lower bearing/collar move about 1/8 inch when you grab them by hand and move in all directions. hard to believe could be warn out,but seems like it was bad from the factory.

I think I figured out why mine looks longer. I have power steering and it looks like it was extended to clear to power steering pump. Still can't figure out how to solve the vibration issue though.
