Steering '90 XJ column for '72 CJ5
I have not done this exact combination but it would seem to me that the XJ column would be too long. Be very careful about cutting and splicing columns. Those column shafts take a lot of flex and twist. Welding can be a problem with hydrogen embrittlement. You would be better off to contact someone like Collins Bros Jeep in Texas for a replacement column if you need it and yours cannot be rebuilt.A neighbor gave me a '90 XJ steering column with wheel for my '72 CJ5. Good? Bad? Is there a mounting plate/bracket? Anything else I should know? This is outside my experience. Thanks in advance.
