I'm just wondering if the steering column or shaft has a mechanism for being lengthened or shortened, NOT by actually cutting into it. There are 2 tubes that slide into each other, held tight with a u-clamp, so I thought that maybe the length can be changed by loosening the clamp, sliding the tubes to make the column or shaft longer or shorter, then retightenng it.

I know that the entire steering assembly can be moved up or down by loosening the 8 bolts that attach it to the 2 bracket that connect it to the car, but that's not what I'm referring to. I mean the length of the column or shaft itself. This is to close a fairly small gap that still exists between the top of the joint assembly and the bottom of the steering column, even with the column lowered all the way.
