With everything bolted together, the steering joints were binding. Ugh, time to try to “stretch” the space between the column and rack as much as possible, while also adding another u-joint.

To shorten up the column side, I cut two u-joints down as much as possible while still leaving enough room to throw a slug of double-d rod in for alignment. I tig welded them up and probably gained 3/4s of an inch or so vs. stacking them back to back (this was temporary and eventually replaced with a proper double u-joint)

On the rack side, I added a few washers between it and the cross member in order to push it forward by another 3/8”. Someday, I’ll spin a proper spacer or redo the mounts altogether.
