Default Clock spring ?

I looked but did'nt find any useful info.

Will a '99 XJ, or a 95/98 Neon clock spring fit a '98 XJ ? May sound dumb but I don't want to get it & waste my $ 'cause it don't fit.
Thanks.

don't be so defensive, its just constructive criticism. So ya don't need to pm people calling them an A$$. You can appreciate learning more about a vehicle or anything for that matter by spending your time searching for the answer rather than having it fed to you.
