An out of box failure is certainly not out of the question. I did buy the gear at Autozone too. It's guaranteed so I suppose I could take it back to them and try another. Once again it seems kinda unlikely that both gears would have the same exact symptom. Incidentally we're up in Sedona...

I'd like to dredge this up again. Found it on a search. I had the same dead zone in my steering. Made the adjustment to the steering box itself and it made a huge improvement. Probably took it from 2" left and right of centered position down to 1" on the steering wheel itself. Here's where it...

Outstanding.........much obliged Shane. That's the best price I've seen yet. Free shipping too.

I know. I was amazed. When the guy pulled it up I saw his jaw drop and he muttered a "holy shi!" under his breath. He said, "take a guess". Me $250 Him "double that + change". I was going to get the little door swingy stoppy piece I mentioned above and that was $60.00 JY here I come.

I'll check that Tim. I've got a spare battery that I use just for troubleshooting. Really comes in handy. The driver's door had a missing stop lever deal on it when we bought it. Could be those wires have been stretched out a few times over who knows how long a period. Yeah Kastein, normally...

Yeah, I've been in there and done it. It's even slow with the rubber removed. I'm in Arizona and although it's great for no rust on metal parts, it's terrible for rubber, plastic, and wood. Everything dry rots real quick out here and the window pieces are no exception. I pulled all the track...

Thanks for all the info. I hear ya on the JY thing. The only problem I see is you will have to replace with a driver's side front from the donor vehicle. Once again being the driver's door it probably sees four times the use of any other window on the thing and will likely be pretty well worn...

O.k. done to death.........I know, I've done the search. I'm 90% sure that my driver's side front regulator is worn out. It works, but is slow and kinda jaunts the glass sideways on the way up or down so the window isn't going moving straight in the track. You have to kind of nurse it up the...

Here's a list of the codes for older Cherokees codes are: 11 Ignition 13 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Vacuum 14 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Electrical 15 Distance sensor or circuit 17 Engine running too cool 21 Oxygen sensor or circuit 22 Coolant temperature sensor or...

I take it you're saying there is some residiual antifreeze on the block from doing the work and to clean it off?

Same here. My stepson's newly acquired XJ had water (only) in the radiator. Dained and flushed the radiator and block, new water pump, new thermostat, new radiator cap, new hoses, new temp sending unit. I can still smell the coolant even though I did the work a month ago. No leaks and not...

I'm no engineer. I usually tend to use more material than necessary and over complicate when fabricating things. My parts will come out cumbersome and heavy, but it works. This piece is a prime example. Thanks again for your assistance Mathew. The other board I posted this on got zero...

Some will laugh........some might say "that's unsafe", but here's what I ended up doing. I had a piece of 1" water pipe. Cut it to a 2" length and split it lengthwise and made two halves. Drilled a 1/4" hole through both pieces of pipe and the steering shaft. Bolted it together with a 1/4"...

This is cut n pasted from the page the dealership's parts counter printed out. Supposedly it's from a 92 floor shift, tilt wheel. That's what this one is so unless it's been changed at some point. It looks pretty much like the drawing you put up Mathew. At least as far as the bearing/cup/clip...

The cup itself is fixed onto the column somehow. Can't see if it's just pressed on or what. No visible means of physical/mechanical attachment. If you look at my pictures of the bearing cup you can see there are no recessed or notched areas for the clip to fit into. It's smooth all the way...

Posting on my own post. That's bad. Thought I'd toss up a quick update though. What the guys thought was wrong is indeed the problem. Removed the column and was able to tap the bearing back up the shaft. I had come up with a clamp deal to hold it in place, but it rubbed on the firewall and...

Thank you for your input. I don't know if I'll be able to slide the bearing back into place without pulling the column. Really tough to work on with everything in the way. I can barely fit my hands in that space. Guess I'll check that tomorrow after work. If the clip is missing maybe I can...

Interesting and the thought had occurred to me. I didn't notice the wear rings. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll see if it can slide up to where it should be. The question would be, why did it slip and how to keep it from doing it again. I have a feeling I'm going to be junk yarding it for...

Play Steering with photos I'm going to try to dredge this up as it's the closest thing I can find to the problem I'm experiencing. Hopefully someone knows what the deal is here and would be cool to get some advice. Also before I get hollered at, I put this up on another forum. Don't want to...
