First, let me say that I have just purchased my 88 Cherokee Pioneer and so I have just registered here. I am sure that I will get good advice and will offer any knowledge I stumble upon in return.
My issue is this. The steering works OK and I can even drive as is, but the steering column is loose. If I grab the wheel with both hands, I can move the whole column (back and forth, circular, etc.). The gentleman who sold me the vehicle made me aware of the problem and suggested that this might be a somewhat common problem. An engineering flaw, perhaps?
Anyway, I inquired about this issue at 2 Jeep dealerships and several national auto parts stores in my area and no one has a clue. I am quite prepared to take the column apart and go piece by piece as they suggest, but I wonder if anyone here can shed any light on this. Thanks.
