Where to get a new steering column

So the tilt colum on my XJ demonstrates the typical sloppiness which requires tearing apart the column and tighting the loosen screws

I am scared to do such a repair and think swapping a new column is much easier for me. Could you recommend a place to purchase the new steering column. I also wonder if there is any upgraded after market unit?

Thanks.

I'd say to check craigslist for xj's someone might be parting out, or you could always go to a junkyard. Personally, there's NO WAY I'd spend the money a NEW column costs, when you can get a used one that's problem free for a fraction of the price of a new one, just my opinion
