Steering slop?

[MOBS]

The wider tires cause more drag and at highway speeds cause your tires to mimic not having enough toe-in, so you physically toe them in more to counter that effect.

ok guys this steering mod looks great. but im confused as to if it will work on my truck. 1997 k3500? and if it will work, a 1995 jeep cherokee xj intermediate steering shaft is what i need to get? i will probably get a new one instead of picking one at the junkyard.

any help guys?

any help guys?

Some 96s an all 97-8 have different columns so no it won't work....

ooooooo fuuuuuuuuck.............they really wont work on 96+?! O.O sum beech, already ordered 4!!!

That's what I've read, an I know it won't work on my truck. Look at the pics of the older columns an then go look at yours you will see the difference. there is actually a joint (or something) on the inside of the cab in the newer ones.

It made me sad too....

u know if the 97 shaft will work on my 93 paul?

I suppose it would as long as its not from a grand cherokee. Its the truck columns that changed, not the Jeep stuff. There is a year range on the Jeep shafts but I can't find it right now....

werd! it looked like it will fit. it's not a GC, however i coulda picked up one of those for $1.50 and $20 shipping...

I believe GC's have different splines as well as '97+ XJ's.

The year range in nates thread says 89-96. Says the 97 cherokee got a different box with different splines.

Im hitting the yards this weekend to look for hoods so I'm going to grab one of these an see if it will work or not for 98's....
