Jeep steering shaft

[V8 Rumble]

It gives more clearance in the bay.some have said It eliminates steering slop due to the rag joint but I haven't really noticed any difference.

It is clean looking though. I did it to have extra clearance.

Eliminates the rag joint (that huge disk shaped thing on your steering shaft) you have to do a small modification on your steering column output shaft. literally t

It has to be from a 90's and I believe up to 2001 jeep cherokee, NOT Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Try Contacting GBoz on here he normally has some cleaned and painted for sale. https://gbodyforum.com/members/g-boz.2298/

Eliminates the rag joint (that huge disk shaped thing on your steering shaft) you have to do a small modification on your steering column output shaft. literally takes 5 second. Just have to put a small notch in it for the bolt to go through. I bought mine from GBoz a while ago. Fast shipping and nicely cleaned up and painted!! I can't remember what I paid but it wasn't much at all. Makes a huge difference in steering feel, definitely a small but worthy upgrade.

you can use a shaft from a 2 wheel drive Astro/Safari van with simple modifications and they are easier to find

Some of the Grand Cherokees have the correct shaft....you need a shaft with the stamped steel ends not cast aluminum ends.

You know I'm searching here too for the same answer. What is so special or what do you gain by switching to a jeep shaft, or any shaft. Is it a clearance thing?

basically, the jeep/Astro shafts use U joints (like a drive shaft), to eliminate slop and gives you better handling and a more tighter feel.
The stock rag joint wears over time creating play in the wheel/steering...
