Hello. My '94 Cherokee 4.0 4WD has developed a slight slip in the steering. It's slipping where upper shaft meets the lower shaft. The adapater, bearing, retainer clip all seem to be looose. When I turn the steering wheel, the upper shaft slips before it engages the lower shaft. All these parts are shown by the red square box: Anybody experience this issue?? Any input/advice appreciated. Here is the direct link to this diagram: http://www.xjjeeps.com/com_xjjeeps/m...ts_catalog.pdf

Here's another pic showing what part(s) are slipping: Input from steeing wheel moves part A, but slips on part B before moving the steering steering. (wheels).

Anybody replace this shaft and have some advice? Is it a simple remove and replace (two bolts), or does the steering box need to move as well to slip this in place? Thanks a lot. .

I dont really know about your problem and how to fix it. but I do know that you'll get alot farther on theses forums if you're pleasant and friendly. not sarcastic and nasty

You have to take the steering box loose to replace it. You don't have to disconnect anything though.

Hmmm, pleasant and friendly = 0 reply. sarcastic = one reply. Just sayin. .

You don't know anything about my problem, but see fit to preaching to me about forum manners?? Gee, you're a big help. (That was sarcasm BTW.) No offense, but I'd prefer some advice on the steering shaft.
