You've busted the "collapsible" section of the steering column.

The note says "don't hammer on wheel"... You are experiencing the symptoms of why this is recommended.

The 1200 collapsible steering column is held together by a little friction between the slip surfaces and the 2 nylon pins that are created by molten plastic when the column is made.


You'll need another column to fix this.

i didnt hammer it
i have been through two collums already
lucky i have one more left
thanx mate
