I'm working on my buddies XJ (90'). I had to replace the ignition switch (which of course required dropping the steering column down for access unless you have the arms of Gumbie.

I know the column bracket has a little left-to-right movement, but my buddies column still is too far to the left (driver's perspective). I THINK I noticed this too before I even dropped the column.

He said the column came from another Jeep, but he doesn't remember which one.

I was wondering if his was in an accident, or if other columns might have been offset?

I figured I can try and bend the bracket If I had a big mounted vise , and BFH. I don't have access to either right now (in apartment).

It's steel right? Where the studs are welded/riveted to. Sound sane?

I loosen the 15mm nuts and slide the column left and right, and I'm 1000% sure there is no more adjustment there. No clue if there is any on the bottom of the column.

Check out how it "centers" next to the 90* plastic side pieces.




Thanks guys.

It might be on the box end. He's going to deal with it.
