While taking out my steering shaft, I discovered that it was rusted and would not telescope at all! On top of that, the u-joints were also very worn out. I managed to get the shaft free of the jeep and with a little help from a vice and a hammer, I freed the rust and got the little spring out. I put the shaft back in and decided I should order a new shaft. I figured the old one would hold out long enough until my new one arrived from Quadratec! $115 laterLou8795's 1995 Jeep YJ Gunnison, CO Customized with Optima Engine Electronics, Rancho Shocks, American Racing Wheels, BF Goodrich Tires, Flowmaster Exhaust, K&N Intake - 157Lou8795's 1995 Jeep YJ Gunnison, CO Customized with Optima Engine Electronics, Rancho Shocks, American Racing Wheels, BF Goodrich Tires, Flowmaster Exhaust, K&N Intake - 158
