2G Steering issues

[wolfyslove]

Okay, so i got the rack into the new subframe and got the subframe all lined up and am almost there i can taste it! Upon putting it into the steering column i don't know how far it's supposed to go in. I feel like it should go in much more than i'm able to but i can't get it in anymore. Please chime in with what i can do here. are my splines bad? is it not matching up for some reason? This is literally my last dead end here and i could really use some input!

Thank you in advance

Yes, it is supposed to go in much further. The bolt will line up with the tapered down section of that steering shaft. I had a hard time getting mine in as well when I had everything apart. Make sure you clean both parts and grease them up well, that should be all you need.

That's what i figured, but i literally can't get it to go in anymore. I don't know if the knuckle is pushed up into the firewall and has it out of alignment or if my splines are just f***ed. But i swear, if i have to drop this subframe again, i'm parting this damn this out. >.<
