    Loose steering column

    1060099 I've done some checking and for a stock steering shaft I'm good at the box. Travelling up to the firewall is where it has the play. All the way thru the firewall and thru the column. I also have a 3" body lift that came on it when I bought. This is a recent problem, started being...

    Loose steering column

    1060127 Thanks for the advice. I will check into tomorrow. What I meant by pics is a drawing from a manual. I recently moved and can't seem to find mine anywhere. I'm not sure if there are bearings/bushings at the top and bottom of the column or not and how to get to them. Don't really...

    Loose steering column

    1060329 Well...I did some checking today and I don't think the top bearing has failed. It is definitely something at the bottom of the shaft were it comes out of the steering column on the engine side of the firewall. I seem to have a flat circular piece that seems to have come out of the...

    1066111 Hi James and welcome. I have a '94 YJ with the 2.5L also. I get about 16 around town and 15 on the hiway. Mine also is pretty much stock with a 3" body lift and 31" tires. You're working the engine pretty hard with the stock gearing, so I wouldn't expect much more than that. [addsig]

    Loose steering column

    1061263 Ok. Acutally got to work on my Jeep today. The problem is the bottom bearing at the end of the column in the engine compartment. It is a needle bearing and had slid out of the plastic piece that it's pressed into. Now I have one more question concerning this column business. How much...

    1061271 Thanks for the reply. I had found some other questionable things right after I purchased a year and a half ago. And that was just basic wiring. Guess I need to take the head off now and take to a machine shop and have broken stud removed. Will take a trip back to the dealer and let...

    Loose steering column

    1061300 I know I need to get a factory service manual. The Chilton and Haynes only cover the basics. I ended up not taking the column out. I was just curious about the movement in the output shaft. Thanks again. [addsig]

    exhaust questions

    1061568 Tried drilling out myself, but it's the back one so couldn't really get at it good. Machine shop only charging $20 to remove the broken one and replace the front one while we're at it. I wanted to check some of the other stuff out while the head is off. Might as well do it right so I...

    Loose steering column

    1060053 Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum. I have a problem with my '94 YJ. The steering wheel has play, up and down. I think it is a bearing or bushing in the firewall area, but not sure. If anyone has had this problem before please let me know how to fix. Any pictures would be of great...

    exhaust questions

    1061266 Let me start by saying this is a great board. I have a couple of questions about my exhaust. Started fixing a bad leak, back stud on manifold broken, lucky me I have over the 8yrs and 80k miles. Also, when I pulled off the exhaust manifold there was no gasket anywhere. Is this the...
