Its never too far gone to get it welded, the one you get from the scrap yard will probably have play in it also, easier, cheaper, much better to get it welded.
The garage showed me how far gone a previous customers column was and showed me if he welded it with it that bad it could lock my steering as i had play up and down as well as side to side.
£25 for a column and then welded and fitted for hardly anything, u cant go far wrong
thought about having mine welded but decided to buy a new one from reno £290 fitted,which i think is very steep but now i have piece of mind that it is ok,some people might say you get just as much satisfaction from having it welded but it is down to personal preference.
