The plug was welded onto the end of the column tube along with the floor plate a few inches up from the bottom. The bushing was then pressed in place to seal the column and provide a low-friction surface for the steering shaft and U-joint, which rides against it. If for some reason the shaft had to be longer, and the U-joint didn't butt against the bushing, you'd have to add a collar so the steering wheel and shaft could not be pulled back into the car. In this particular case, they don't need a collar because the U-joint holds the shaft in place. View Related Article
