Default Twisted Steering Wheel

Installed an external horn push button, since my clock spring is busted and steering wheel is cracked and there are not spare parts where I live.
I'm driving in the meantime with the airbag light on, no clock spring, horn under the steering column case, and twisted wheel> it's always pointing to the right instead to the center.
I'm going to check if front tires alignment is rather ok so my new tires won't wear out as fast as the old ones did.
I've seen in America they have complete steering columns with wheel included for sale at $46!!! I need to go there and pick one for my baby.

They are Borla Headers for Jeep Wranglers (mid 90's to 05 i think) that I bought from someone for $200 (still new) but they run around $400-$500: http://www.streetsideauto.com/p/borla-17202/

Still running stock. Had to change this out cuz of an exhaust leak on the stock manifold and the $$ that was going to go to the Magnaflow catback just got used to redo my front end :'(


Was actually surprised that there isn't a sound difference with this Borla.

Those are some nice looking headers USMC

I started to prep mine for a trip coming up this weekend. Thought I didnt have to much to do, got the big feet on wired up a new electric fan to replace the manual one it hasnt had since the end of last year. Every time I got through something I would find something that needed some TLC so I ended up having to can my trip cause I spent all my gas money on parts

Thanx! Actually prepping my XJ for a drive to Florida for vacation in 2 weeks myself! Front end needs to be worked on cuz the dreaded "death wobble" got me So I'm replacing/upgrading a lot of things since I don't think the PO didn't do much. Next weekend's project: axle u-joints, both front hub assemblies, all ball joints, upper arms bushings, steering box brace, brakes front and rear (new rotors, calipers, pads/shoes), HD steering drag link/track bar and aux. tranny cooler.
