Re: Tight and responsive steering: Another How-To! YAY
I'm looking at replacing my steering baecause of too much play, just to make sure I understand completely (I've read the thread a few times)
I have a 95 Blazer 4x4 (vin W) I need... Grand Cherokee intermediate shaft Trusty Dremel with Grinding tool Trusty measuring doo-hickey(measure many times, cut once, I do that anyways... ) I follow from the thread that the intermediate shaft will fit on the steering box without mods, and I just need to shave off up to 5 1/4 inches off the stem , measure always, might be a little different due to your 2' raise. Dremel the arc to fit the shaft properly (I have a micrometer too) And that's basically it... there was mention of a Steerign box adjustment.. do I need to do this with a 95 Blazer 4x4 using the Grand Cherokee intermediate shaft? Many thanks for this cool mod, looking forward to executing this this coming weekend. ~Xpc |

Re: Tight and responsive steering: Another How-To! YAY
Rilth- what type of fastener is one the Jeep shaft?? I have a line on one and plan on getting it Monday. I don't feel like dragging extra tools around.
Also, has anyone else done this with sucess? Or without?

Re: Tight and responsive steering: Another How-To! YAY
Rilth, went to a bone yard today to look at a 97 Grand Cherokee but the shaft looked diff than the one in your pic. The one in your pic looks more like the one I saw in a 95. I wonder if they changed them for the 97's then back in 98. I'll have to look some more. They're hard to come by and the one you got is in awesome condition!

Re: Tight and responsive steering: Another How-To! YAY
My Cheve Blazer S10 4WD 6cyl has about 6 inches of play in the steering wheel in either direction, and is a pain to keep straight on the road. (alone with having the wheel turned about 20 degrees to the left to go straight) If I understand this resolves that problem completely, and quite simply I might add. WIll this work with my vehicle? With that same Wrangler column you used?
If so, or if not, can anybody inform me if its the rag joint causing this, and what ALl i can do to resolve the problem? |
