So, what's now down low considering the "box" used to attach to the column? Inquiring minds want to know.
The old shaft is replaced by a new two piece unit. The upper is solid and the lower section is hollow. They are keyed so they won't spin. The column tube is cut at the firewall and a bearing is placed there to support the bottom section of shaft. There is still a bearing at the top so the new shaft is supported at both ends. The converted column is connected to the rack with two universal joints and a short intermediate shaft.
