My steering shaft on my 97 has the same play in it and it has a new rag joint and gearbox.... the clunk could be anything from tie rods, idler,pitman, balljoints, wheel bearings ect ect..... need to narrow down where it's coming from?

I'd think twice about doing this, especially if you're running headers. There have been some failures of those Jeep shafts on these trucks.

Unbiased third party here... is the XJ shaft safe or unsafe? I would love reassurances that I'm not going to end up wrecking my truck and possibly injuring or killing somebody when the steering shaft fails.
The comments on that suggest a bad cv joint, but on her Silverado 2wd, she doesn't have that
