Kamikaze124 10-13-2002, 06:55 PM My friend has a 90 model jeep yj, He called me and told me that his steering column was very loose, so i took a look at it , and It is very bad , I started to tear into it , but it got to late . So, does anyone have any info as to what this could be , or how to fix it , and is it unsafe to drive right now ?:confused: ( you can take the steering wheel , and move it all the way up and down , without using the tilt arm) Thanks for any and all help TPIJeep 10-13-2002, 07:02 PM There are 4 inverted torx head bolts deep inside the column, you can normally get to 2 of them, they are notorious for backing out. it is VERY hard to get to all 4 but if you can get 2 snuged back up you will be okay... Finding a inverted torx socket will be fun... :eek: SHERPA 10-14-2002, 07:20 AM Originally posted by TPIJeep There are 4 inverted torx head bolts deep inside the column, you can normally get to 2 of them, they are notorious for backing out. it is VERY hard to get to all 4 but if you can get 2 snuged back up you will be okay...

I believe that's what he means. Besides the "normal" torx tool that kind of look like a screwdriver bit there are ones that look like a socket. I got a set at Sears. I also think the Quadratec sells them.

Well the little set I got had in big bold letters... Inverted Torx Set so yes its the reverse of the screwdriver type... Damn you people are critical! :flipoff2: :D TexasBlake 10-14-2002, 11:57 AM Originally posted by TPIJeep Well the little set I got had in big bold letters...

Those are the little bastards that held my starter on until I switched them with normal bolts. | |
