[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1366029, member: 15947"] I redid the steering shaft the night before last.... I ended up using the stock YJ shaft, but I had to tear it apart and lube it up so the slip would actually work as intended. I put a lock plate spring from a XJ column between the (mostly compressed) lower slip in piece and the upper receiver type piece on the shaft, to keep the short shaft in place on the orbital valve, since it doesn't have a c-clip or anything to keep it from pulling out (just the heim to ride on and the rubber bushing/seal to keep dirt out). It worked perfect, just enough compression on the spring to keep things tight, and the newly greased slip moves out with very little pressure so if things try to compress I'm good, it will just compress the spring... and if things move out, the slip will take up the slack and the spring will keep some pressure on that shaft going into the orbital. I'll take pics tomorrow for the visual learners... tonight I'm still recovering from hot tubing with several naked women. [EDIT]: I also ordered U-bolts, spring plates, 1350 yokes and QA1 XM series rod ends, safety washers and jam nuts for my tie rod today. Bunk is building me a solid 1.5" chromo tie rod, I'm hoping I can run it on top of the steering arms but I won't know until I have it and can actually mount it up. Oh yeah, and Geno from advance adapters has my Atlas all built and ready to ship, so once I get that I can start building a crossmember/skidplate and get working on the driveline situation. Yeehaw!
