I agree with Weasel Diesel.This is a common problem with these columns.It can break at any time,and usually,when the switch is turned OFF,it "snags",and breaks the rack.This rack also locks the steering wheel,so if you turn the key,and it unlocks the wheel,it may have broken at the point where the rod attatches,rather than,as mine did,in the middle of the rack.
