Steering Column Repair: 89 jeep cherokee steering wheel rocks waaay too much., jeep cherokee, model jeep


Question
My 1989 Jeep Cherokee steering wheel moves about 1 1/2" and is getting worse. My Chilton manual doesn't have an exploded view, nor very detailed teardown/repair instructions. It's a tilt wheel.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi,
My friends at off-road.com tell me this is a typical problem this model Jeep. They basically have the same problem as many other models using this type of tilt column. They suggested you read the article at the link below:

Neither of us have a picture breakdown of your specific column, but I feel once you read the link, you'll know exactly what to look for.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to contact me again if I can be of further assistance.
Have a great day!
