loose steering column (at tilt joint.)

[BMJ]

What is easier? replace whole steering column or fix the loose part in the tilt option area of the column?

:cheers: I'm on a married with children status ..after xmas? yup i hear ya' :D

 

but got someone that is parting out a cherokee and offered to sell the column cheap ( and make no pmnts 'till '08!! ) :nuts: LOL .

 

So if it' gonna save me some time this weekend, guess I'll go for it.

Are they swappable ? Donor is a 1990 xj .

read this as well, just in case yours is 5 speed and the xj is auto or vice-versa. also, pay CLOSE attention to the removal/install instructions. they're done that way to make it easier for you and you won't have to readjust your steering most likely.

Yes, there is, I did it. Had to buy an $8 tool, so not too bad. But, the repair is not fun, but doable. Link as soon as I find it.

Got the tool at a Bumper to Bumper parts store(in stock). Made by Lisle, number escapes me. Other tools are needed, but I had those. Have fun!
