I'm not too familiar with the steering components on my 1977 CJ5 but I do know that there is a lot of play in the steering wheel. One of the PO put a Chevy truck steering column and steering wheel in the Jeep and there is A LOT of play in the steering wheel.
I can literally grab the steering shaft and shake it so it is that loose in the gear assembly. There may be some other messed up components but I'm thinking that the steering column, shaft, coupling, and gear assembly need to be replaced.
I am not sure though and I'm really not sure what information to include and what questions to ask. I don't want to end up sinking a ton of money replacing everything until I find out what is wrong or taking it to a shop for that matter.
Can anyone help with this issue?
