I have the streering clunk, was 3 times at the dealer and no use, and the third time was today just got it out, and i don't have any more energy to fool around with them. And i greased up the boot too and still its there. i took a photo of the steering next to the firewall maybe someone could tell me if something is wrong. i took the exact same spot someother pics where taken but can't see anything wrong, maybe iam missing something.
sorry not high quality its a phone pic.

 

help anyone?

 

did you take the shaft apart ????

 

No i didn't and i dont think i will be able. Does it look like theres something wrong? The place where the column enters the firewall theres the black thing sticking out i tried to push it in but its not moving? is that the prob?

 

nope that not the problem ... The problem is in the boot... Take it off its really easy i took mine off in 5 min its just two screws ... .. I think there is a write up some where let me see if I can find it ..

 

here it is https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ghlight=clunky

..... its really easy remember when you take the screws of... it just contracts and comes off

its REALLY easy trust me, a cave man could do it

 

But the boot i already filled it with grease, i read that thread and made a tiny hole in the boot and stuck the hose in and sprayed half a can of grease in there and still its clunking.

 

well in my case the tiny hole did not fix it I had to take the shaft apart ... open the boot clean... and the lubricate everything (inside the boot) remember the bottom shaft its composed of two pieces one inside the other(covered by the boot) so it can expand and contract .. you have to lubricate and clean the teeth inside the boot... Hope this helps..

 

ohh.. and its been 6 months since a fixed mine and no more clunk.. knock on wood..

 

Now you got my atention. So if i open it up do you think i will have troubles putting it back or its really really simple? and will lithuim grease do it? plus theres only one boot rite? and its the one you can see in my pic? tahnks for the help and replies.
