Recently when replacing the ignition switch in my 83 wbx westie, I
noticed that the steering column was not mating fully flush with the
"lower column" according to Bently language.  There is about 1/4" of
space between the flange with the two rubber grommets/holes of the
upper column, and the two shafts of the lower column which are supposed
to fill those rubber holes.  My Bently manual shows the upper column
mating flush with the lower column.

This seems like a safety hazard to me - it seems like the upper
steering column could easily disengage with the lower  during a bump or
hard turn etc.  What could be the cause of this?  What is the remedy.
Could it be related to the manual steering rack, which was recently
replaced with a used part?  Its it safe to drive?

thanks,
Paul
