About a 1 minute long consult of google told me that no, they are not the same, and that modifications would have to be made in order to put a YJ column in an XJ and vise versa

there you go. FYI the column is the same length if both are tilt columns. Ive had both a YJ and XJ. The non tilt columns are shorter by a tiny bit but will work.
