This happened to me. It's because the 7-tooth steering assemblies used slightly different length steering shafts over the 2-3 years of production. Rather than stock shafts of all the different lengths, the vendors stock one standard part and then cut/weld it to fit the order. The shaft often ends up too wide at the weld site. I had to get the machine shop helping me to turn the shaft down on a lathe to fit.
