The steering wheel end gets a felt bushing for both split and solid columns.
For a split column, you also need two of the nylon/steel/rubber bushes, they
go next to the coupling, one in the upper half and one in the lower half.
The factory SPC is confusing on this point (the entire upper half of the
column is listed as "CLAMP SUB-ASSEMBLY" but the felt bush is not relisted),
and the Moss catalog is simply wrong.
