Awesome ... What Year/Model of Jeep is that shaft off of?

93 through 98 jeep grand cherokee. I'm probably going with somewhere in between if I can. I couldn't find the price on autozone site for a new one but I seen other adds for 100-200. Most people that have them have use ones from what I was reading on the oldsmobile site.

They call for a 93-98 Grand Cherokee shaft but... There are two different kinds both fit the gear box but one only fits the steering shaft.
i bought the wrong one first then i had to go get the other one. The difference is that one has a aluminum coupler and the other is steel. Get the steel one as it has a bigger opening for the steering shaft than the aluminum one. It fit a little tight but with some persuasion it fits good.BTW Regular Cherokees have the same shaft as long as its the steel coupler . I will try later to post pics of the wrong shaft.
here are some poor quality pics lol!!

P.S. make sure it isn't bent and that it collapses still. best part it only cost 7 bucks at the pick and pull .

Is it just the grand cherokee steel shaft that fits? Is there such a thing as just a cherokee. I found one but they say it is from a 98 cherokee. Will it fit?
Thanks

I pulled mine from a 91 cherokee. As long as the coupler that connects to the steering wheel shaft is the bigger end and made of steel. I found that there is two different ends, but i have seen that both models seem to use that shaft but some Grand cherokees use the smaller one made of aluminum. I am at work but i will try to post a pic later of the wrong shaft.

Hope this helps some as you can tell the ends are different.
