-This is like a $10 fix, although you have to drill, cut and/or whittle the polyethylene yourself. It is low-friction and self-lubricating. Machine one up yourself out of Nylon - $10. With some time and patience you can whittle it with a knife. +

Datsun 1200s used a steering column that is integral with the Steering Gearbox. Most have a simple tubular column, but GL models were fitted with a safer Collapsible Steering Column — as in all modern cars.

Overview

If your column, as seen under the dash, is a simple tube, it is the standard kind. But if it is dimpled, it is a collapsible column.
