XJ steering shaft

[Sneakywheel]

Hello,

I am looking to do the XJ steering shaft upgrade and the cheapest I can find one is for $75. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to sell one? I have seen people get them dirt cheap and that is not really an option for me. Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I cant post to the wanted section. My truck is a 96 K1500.

Thanks in advance.

No junkyards near you? They are easy to pull and most places sell them for less than $20

Sorry to sound stupid, but what is a Jeep XJ? Is it the square body Cherokee?

Definetly call all junkyards and scrap yards in your area, The tighter steering is worth the 75 bucks, but why pay that much if you dont have to. If there are any off road shops by you call them, they might at least be able to point you in the right direction.

Yea i have tried calling the junkyards around here, the best quote that i got was $75. I am currently looking on craigslist for part outs. Yea I didnt think about the off road shop, thanks for that heavyjunk!

Bail on the full service yards and go to self-service.

There is a guy on thirdgen.org that sells them cleaned up, spot welded at the recommended spot and completely ready to go for about $75. You would have to do a search but I believe that his name was something like 87 monte ss.

Hey eric.s.t, I went out and bought one and turns out it didn't work for my 96, so if you are in need of a steering shaft just let me know. If you pm me I can send pictures.
