The only way the shaft can be pulled from the u-joint clamp is to totally remove the bolt. There is a notch in the shaft that the bolt sits in that keeps the two parts from seperating. If the shaft moved 1.5" then the bolt would have to be missing.
The top shaft (that the steering wheel bolts to) is mounted to the underside of the dash frame. Those bolts may have been loose enough for you to pull the upper shaft and frame out. You'll have to remove the knee bolster to check that I'm afraid.
