Ignition Linkage
Hello all,
The ignition switch linkage on my '84 CJ-7 has gone from worn to worn out.
The gear on the end of the key switch and the gear on the end of the linkage
rod are no longer mating correctly. The gears slip when they meet resistance
i.e. when you hit the start position on the switch. Are these parts
available? It doesn't look like they come with the replacement lock
cylinder.
I hate to put it back together with junk yard parts that are just as worn.
Thanks,
Andy Staves

Re: Ignition Linkage
Might be easier to go find a used steering column. Either way you end
up with junkyard parts, though.

Re: Ignition Linkage
I believe it is a saganaw steering column. The full sized GM used them
as well.
Maybe GM sells parts for them?
