Distal, as in proximal to the driver? ;-)

Contrary to what Bentley says, you cannot adjust the spacing between
switch ass'y and steering wheel without changing the length of the
spacer.  All dimensions are referenced to the wheel seating shoulder
on the column.  You *can* adjust the clearance from wheel to the
plastic steering column shroud by adjusting the lock position on the
column tube.  This affects how deeply the pins on the bottom of the
column engage the rubber of the universal joint.

I'm much prettier than Yoda.
