I had the same issue on my XJ when i was wheeling one day. My repair was huge because of the bullbar and winch and all but even with a 5" lift and 33"s they didn't question it.

I wouldnt buy another XJ unless it had been done or if not i'd be getting it in for the recall straight away.

Lost my steering in the KMart carpark. It's a bugger getting the broken bits out of the box....

This seems to be a serious problem and I'm thinking it should be in the STICKY section. If I had a pre-update I would have liked to have known about it sooner.

Mine is a post date 98 and I had just had mine repaired for serious cracks.Had notice some noise and steering wobble.Was checking rod ends,panhard ball joints and whatever else than looked up and noticed the cracks between the steer box bolts and also along the bottom edge of chassis rail.Took to a panel beater who repaired it and he also found cracks under the sway bar mounts as well.Was cracked really bad in places.I run 32s and 4.5 lift.Rang the dealership who said all recalls were done on mine but did also find the recall code on the net which said the recall for that issue ended August last year.Updates are prone to the problem as well.
