Yeah 95 is the last year you'll find that. They went to this really weird one in 96, then 97+ plus are the same modern style (also found in TJs)

Chrysler's own brand of steering wheel/column. They ditched the GM stuff sometime around then.

I think they stopped the three spoke in 94. The spline count is the same in all of them until 96 (may be different 97+) but I put one from an 85 into my 96.

I agree with the above, my '93 sport has that steering wheel. They went to the ugly ones when they added airbags.

Yep and unfortunately my 95 has the ugly one if it weren't for the cruise control I was gonna change mine out. I didn't really look into it much I may be able to find the 3 spoke with CC

Thanks for the info everyone. I found one in the local JY. $20 isnt too bad to pay for a steering wheel that has a horn button and isn't bare metal.

94 was the last year of that wheel, it was used from 87 to 94, 95 to 96 shared the same wheel, 97 to 01 shared the same wheel.

Most 84-86s had an ugly two spoke wheel that also came in the Chevy S10 and taxi cabs.
