i have a 1991 Cherokee Laredo, 4.0 HO engine, power steering but no tilt wheel. there is a TON of play in the steering wheel and the shop says i need a steering column shaft pot coupling, only they're discontinued as an OEM part but it's an OEM part.

i've looked online all over the place and the only thing i can find is a nice picture of one. does anyone have any clue as to where i could get this quickly?

appreciate any help that i can get.

This goes between your column and box don't think that pics year correct ...

 

it may not be. the link you gave me, i hit their chatroom and they said they didn't have it, but i could just be looking for the wrong part. i'll need to stop by the shop tomorrow and "look" at it and take a few pics to ensure i'm looking for the right thing.

thanks a ton for your help!

 

Any local u pull yards close just grab a good shaft from a xj .

looks like you are right in what i need. i went to the shop today and told them the only reference i found was an incorrect pic on a russian server somewhere.

when they turned the steering wheel, the part with the red arrows going to it was between the (2) couplers and it had a TON of play in it, giving the steering wheel itself a TON of play. i'm new to a 5 speed as it is so i need to get used to the standard but with that much play in the wheel itself, it just makes me nervous driving it right now.

so, will the above part have that piece in the middle of it where all the play is? wait, it looks like in your pic it includes both sides of the connectors so the parts would be in the middle as necessary. am i getting this yet?

again, thanks to all for your help and appreciate the patience while i learn my way around my jeep.

If you're wanting a "new" one a place to look may be GM, a good portion of our steering parts came from their shop.
