I got a used steering column from the junkyard for $20 even though i only wanted the clockspring.
I'm trying to decide if replacing the entire column is easier than just the clockspring? Wouldn't have to worry about pulling the wheel off.
Anyone have a good link of a walk-through for the column swap?
Also my 98 xj still has super loose steering which i'm trying to narrow down, most likely somewhere in the shaft or steering wheel area. Is there anything in the column that can wear or break that would cause loose steering making me want to just do a complete swap anyway? I've put 2 used steering boxes and 1 remanned one in and it still hasn't fixed the looseness. and the linkage underneath is good so it's between the box and wheel... Even tried a used shaft with no luck....but i guess it was a used shaft...
thanks for the help. O and by the way i'm new so go easy on me.
