Steering column


Recommended Posts

'84-'94 XJ and MJ. A minor change came in '91 when the ignition cylinder changed to a Chrysler version that is held into the upper housing with a spring loaded latch rather than being held by a screw.

 

Manual transmission columns will have a release lever next to the ignition cylinder. Automatic floor shift columns have a park lock mechanism that expects to be hooked up to a cable coming from the shifter mechanism.

 

If you'd like intermittent wipers or tilt (and don't have them already), now's the perfect chance to upgrade. Make sure the break-away brackets about halfway down are not broken loose - this would indicate either rough handling or the vehicle having been in a severe accident. Make sure the donor vehicle has not been in a significant collision. These columns have a collapsible center shaft that will break in the event of a wreck.
