I was referring to the spring at the bottom of the column. From what I remember it should be pulling the shaft down but maybe when the wheel goes on it pulls the shaft back up taking out the slack? Sort of like the bicycle forks of old used to work. I am guessing on newer columns they found a way of doing it without that spring. I do remember fiddling with it for quite a while before figuring it out and getting it right.

I can't remember if something goes between the steering wheel and the inner race.
