75sv1 Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 Could it be for a ZJ? I tired on in my MJ. The steering wheel was an inch or so, farther forward. feltt nice. The length in the engine bay was longer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 I have a small collection of original Jeep CJ tilt columns. Something I noticed, they all vary in overall length, by 1 to 3 inches. Not really enough to make a huge difference, but there it is. I can only guess two things: one, they didn't have close attention to tolerances when assembled. Two, they are designed to collapse when involved in an accident. I don't know how much force is required. Perhaps it's possible to collapse them just from being dropped, for example.
