Yep. Looked over the situation , and that seems to be what's limiting my adjustment to the steering wheel. It's a TRW draglink and I don't know if the parts counter kid gave me a "longer" than what I needed link, but that would give me what I needed if I shorten it.

Is it going to be a 'bear' to cut?

I have thin cutoff disks for my grinder also. Thinking I might be able to leave it in place and just cut off one side where the adjuster collar allows me into one shaft. Rotate the adjuster collar to finish the cut.

What'cha think?
