I don't know, I just know we tear crap down and build new in some places and just leave decerped buildings in others.

Luckily I didn’t actually hammer the column shaft. I pushed it and it ended up going down into the column. That was not what I call a fun first time diving into the column.

That’s good info. I didn’t know that. I guess what bothered me the most was that the steering wheel never returned to full center after making a turn and I assumed it was due to slop. But knowing this tidbit helps me understand the steering system more and will tell me to quit fiddling with it.

Looks right at home. Better than in my shed staring at me and reminding me to list it lol. Did you pay dzimm a visit for the console lid latch?

I figured as much but when looking at the exploded parts diagram I figured there wasn’t many place for there to be slop and could have a tighter steering which I do after replacing all the steering parts and having a ZJ box rebuilt. I’m just gonna leave it alone. It ain’t broke, not much more room for improvement, so I’ll quit touching it.

Just wait until 2/22/22. And that’s on a Tuesday.

Enough to bother me but probably within acceptable tolerance from the factory.

I am actually gonna stop messing with it and live with the slight slop. I’m not sure where it is at. I can only suspect the steering shaft itself or the shaft in the column if it has any joints but other than that it’s not worth fiddling with anymore.

Word of the wise. The shaft in the column is not directly connected to the shaft on the other side of the firewall. That is all.

I have a set of those to put on the XJ.

The shaft between the column and box. That’s the only place I can think of where any remaining slop is in the steering.

I think I’ll take a stab at seeing if I can send the steering column down a little bit and see if the steering shaft gets a better bite on the box this evening. If I can send it then that’ll confirm the column shaft moved on me. I’ll report back what I find.

Don’t you love it when other family members ask if you’re gonna junk it and you just look at them and go, why on earth would I do that?!

You can’t find those new anymore. Someone at some point found another style but has a different plug that you’ll have to swap out. I’d have to find the post. I have an IAT laying around that came from one of the 2.5L manifolds I have.

don't take much to send something like an trans or an engine out the wayside.

Back in this. I attempted to replace mine today with a used one in a bit better shape than mine. Well needless to say I put in the new one and came up shorter. Like a couple centimeters short. Now has anyone ever replaced their shaft and run into this issue? I am thinking I need to remove the steering wheel and hammer the shaft in the column down to give more length for the steering shaft to give more bite on both the box and column shaft.

It’s something I learned when messing with the REM a while back. I read it somewhere in one of my manuals that the upshift light comes on with the MS-1700 plugged in. I also forgot to add that a 4wd light of some kind would also be on as well if it is engaged.

No other lights should come on. The only ones that come on are the seatbelt and brake if the e-brake is applied. The only other lights that can possibly come on would be the emissions timer light and the upshift light if applicable to yours. Fun fact: the upshift light will stay on if you have something plugged into the diag ports like the REM.
