The section we're talking about is the adjuster, its meant to be adjusted. The collapsable section of the steering column isn't on the lower steering shaft, its part of the upper section (thats normally covered by the steering shroud). The part we're talking about is below. The adjustable section with the small foot on it.

Incidently I cut this section past the adjuster and extended it there. Between the rubber dampened coupling and the sliding adjuster.
