Re: 89 Wrangler Steering Problem
Thanks for the info....Still more questions though...
Is that going to solve the slippage? How does that joint work? Obviously, my steering wheel will now be 3" closer. What do I need to do to correct this?

Re: 89 Wrangler Steering Problem
Well, the steering column has a slight bend to it, this joint makes it work
around the corner. The steering wheel was raised, but the steering box remained in the same place, this stretched the column by the body lift amount. My brother did a body lift, but his was only one inch, so we did not encounter this problem on his Jeep.

Needs a steering shaft extension, doesn't he? Three inch body lift, damn!
