Hi I’m having a problem with slop in the steering of a Rhd 2003 tj I have narrowed it down to the rubber isolator sleeve type thing on the lower shaft near where it clamps on to the steering box it seems the rubber/polyurethane bit has gone to chewing gum so the pins that go through move from side to side resulting in around 1-2” play in the steering wheel.i can only find the earlier shafts for sale in the uk.
Question
1 do the earlier shafts still fit the 2003 onwards?
2 has anyone had any luck repairing one maybe getting all the rubber out and filling back up with some sort of polyurethane sealant or resin?
3 how much vibration do you think I would get if I welded it up?
I really appreciate any help and glad to have joined this forum as it’s been a goldmine for answers with my past tj,s
