ok i gott a 2000 xj and to drive strait my streering wheel was to be turned to the left about 90 degrees ? what to do

 

is this safe should it be taken care of asap and well i have to get a new collum or streering box

 

You might wanna start by getting an alignment. From there you can find out what needs to be fixed or repaired

 

ya thats on the to do list i didnt kno if any ones had this problem before

 

the drag link can be adjusted to correct your steering wheel pointing in a different direction than wheels, though there may be other issues involved.
When and how did this happen??

 

um after i went mudding this past weekend on the way back i noticed the diff

 

their are no sway bars in it also

 

there is a connector from your steering wheel shaft to the steering box (near the air box) that may have come loose and skipped a few teeth. Check the bolt there.

 

ya it mad some poping noise well turned all the way in the mud

 

If you find one or both pinch bolts loose on the steering shaft sounds like you found the problem. If they are/were loose you can try this. If they were not loose you may have a different issue.

First center your steering wheel, you want it near as possible to the center of it's right/left travel but more important level/straight (after this do not allow it to move untill finished, tie it with the seatbelt if needed) Loosen the lower steering shaft pinch bolt, slide the steering shaft off the steering box (remember, do not allow the steering wheel to move).
Jack the front wheels off the ground. Move your front wheels straight by pushing the tire, Reconnect the steering shaft, tighten the pinch bolts.

 

al right i look at it once i get back from the scrap yard

 

Any luck fixing the beast?

 

be carful w/o the front sway bar links. its ok to not have the rear link, as long as the front has em. get some good jks quick discos. also if you crash and they find you dont have the proper suspension equipment your ****ed.

 

no i went wheeling this weekend and my bro blew his chevy 3500 with a 454 up took all weekend to get it out so kno my jeep is muddy from keep going back to his truck il have to wash it off and do it

 

alrighty then, good luck on both projects!
