Re: steering columns- cherokee to wrangler?
GM uses the same Saganaw steering column so you have a large choice for
colors, tilt, etc. at the wreckers..

Re: steering columns- cherokee to wrangler?
Are you talking about the steering column seems loose inside?
You might be able to take it partially apart and tighten up those offending
loose bolts.
I have done that to my 82 Wagoneer and I think my 88 XJ was similar when I
repaired damage due to an almost theft.
Cheap and fast fix IF you have a few specialized tools.
Now if you are talking about that joint/pivot in the engine compartment
area.......don't read the above! ;-)

Mine developed the same problem so I rebuilt it myself and it wasn't
that bad a job if you are patient. You will need a lock ring
compressor a pivot pin puller and a basic steering wheel puller, I
found all these tools at a local automotive shop. Mine was loose and
got worse when I did the 1" body lift, extending the streering shaft
exagerated the problem. I took mine apart documenting each step with
the digital camera and had only one problem, I bent the lock plate and
it rubbed when I turned corners but it was an easy fix.

Mine developed the same problem so I rebuilt it myself and it wasn't
that bad a job if you are patient. You will need a lock ring
compressor a pivot pin puller and a basic steering wheel puller, I
found all these tools at a local automotive shop. Mine was loose and
got worse when I did the 1" body lift, extending the streering shaft
exagerated the problem. I took mine apart documenting each step with
the digital camera and had only one problem, I bent the lock plate and
it rubbed when I turned corners but it was an easy fix.
