Default Steering rag joint and column questions?

Was working on the LeMans today and noticed the rag joint. It looks like the lower steering shaft is pushed backwards an inch or so and the rag joint is all out of wack. Do I just need to replace the rag joint and tap the lower steering shaft back into place? How does the '67 energy absorbing column work? Does the lower shaft just telescope in/out of the upper part?
