03+ TJ Steering Shaft Availability?

[loudog3114]

Anyone know where to get a steering shaft for 03+? I've been told by multiple sources at this point (crown, quadratec, sullivan auto) that its no longer in production and through Jeep direct is the only way... who wants $950 (absurd). Plenty used on ebay but they're from jeeps with 100k+ on em, I'm looking for that minty fresh feel.

To clarify, I need a shaft because the ujoint near the steering box is shot.

Yeah unfortunately neither work for me. The top post assumes the pillow bearing is gone, which is not the case for me, it’s the ujoint. That Koomaha is for pre-03, even though it states 03+. The one review says it’s too short for 03+. The local Jeep specialist says Borgeson is the only way, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Guess I don’t have much choice in the matter.

It's retarded. Instead of a private message, we get to have a fucking conversation. So, find the "start conversation" button and use that.

I would definitely be interested if you still have some? I believe I need the lower part and possibly a bracket. Hard to see from the pic but it looks pretty
mangled. The screw is pushed into the rubber bushing

I am almost certain I don't have the bracket but equally certain I do have the lower shaft for an 03-06. Send me a message with an address and I'll dig one up tomorrow.

I may have a bracket laying around off my 06 I can send you @jcw
