Hi,

Has happened to my 330,000 kms 1996 XJ just before xmas.

My wife has been driving the Cherokee most of the time over the past two years and had complained about a noise coming from the steering and a thump felt through the transmission tunnel against her left foot. Had it checked out three times by two different mechanics who could find nothing loose.

Six months later she complained of a loud bang and the steering becoming more vague, again all checked out but I was not happy with the steering and was considering having the steering box renewed.

Then just before xmas another loud bang and the steering wheel is around 45deg to the right when driving straight ahead and judged too dangerous to drive at any speed. Immediately handed over to our regular mechanic who was very surprised to find the steering box bolts sheared off!
