Steering Upgrade

[GalDemSuga]

I'd like to upgrade my sloppy steering to eliminate wandering on my 89 K5, where can I get the XJ shaft?

Junkyards or on here.



You have the ORD box brace as well?

I have no idea what that ORD box brace is, so please enlighten me.

It's just a steering shaft from a late 80's to early 90's Jeep Cherokee XJ.

I have an extra one if you are interested.

do I need to make mods etc? I have no welder nor do I know how to weld

When I put mine on, I took a torch and melted the plastic bushing so I could shorten it a little. Seems others had to extend theirs. No welding needed. If you need to adjust it, a rubber mallet will to the trick. Other than that, very easy upgrade.

Look for the XJ Shaft thread. Just search. Lots of info on that thread.

I've got one on my 89 blazer and the only thing you have to do is a little grinding on the steering column shaft for the clamp bolt to clear.

So once the stock one is off, i would have to grind the shaft at the firewall. What are you wanting for it?

Go to the for sale section, there was a guy that had 4 of them for sale.
4x4high is telling you he has one on his blazer, not that it's for sale.
I got a few a while ago and sold them for $35 each.
Don't remember what this guy wanted for them.
