WTB ZJ steering shaft

[sunkinpumpkin]

Hello im looking for some information about steering shafts. since i am in need of one and the local dealership has informed me that the part has been discontinued since 2008 I would like to know if anyone on here has one for sale or any usefull info for a repair or possibly an upgrade.  Does anyone know if i could use one off a regular cherokee or similar chrysler products.  I know that there are some certian specs that limit my options.  But ive spent alot of time looking for a good steering shaft and have found nothing but dead ends.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Flaming River and Borgeson come to mind for parts. I think there're a few others. What exactly is wrong with yours?

[sunkinpumpkin]

there is a good amount of movement in the joints which makes the steering wheel feel like its going to shake itself right out of the jeep haha

aftermarket

Aftermarket of coarse but other than the two named companies above is there any more vendors?  Flaming river doesnt have the part for me which leaves borgenson's 270$ shaft as my only option.

I did a DIY joint and slip replacement and with all the needed effort and still about a hundred bucks in parts (6n size tractor PTO stuff), the full Borgeson shaft would have been WELL worth it to just bolt in.

i assumed had to be a WJ since that one was so obvious...

[sunkinpumpkin]

its a 93 ZJ that shaft is 95-98 the particular shaft i need was only from 92-95 according to the dealership parts department. so the only one i can use is borgenson.  i already saw that link  but if you read the description it clearly states  1/6/95-98. not going to work

i think you should look into the differences...
i had a 93,98 5.2 and 98 5.9..
the column change I think had little to do with the firewall down..

buy the part on amazon and look at it.. if not send it back

M4 can help with fitment..
