It's an easy swap, a column from 87 to 94 will work. I would be willing to bet this jeep has a tilt column that is loose and wobbley. That is an easy fix if you have the proper tools, like a lock plate depresser, steering wheel puller, and the correct torx bits to tighten the three screws that are loose.

you think it could be driven without being fixed till i can get it home? its a hour or so away from me and i dont have a trailor... but im surprised its only 400, and its 4x4 unlike my current one.

If that's all it is you can drive it home no problem. Take it around the block and use your judgement.
