Lock housing was busted when my son's 2001 XJ was stolen. Picked up a new Lock cylinder, and can slide it in and start the jeep just fine, however with the housing broken, there is nothing to hold the cylinder in, and it comes out just as easy as it slid in.
What are my options here? I haven't found the housing available for purchase yet. Is this something that I can salvage out of a junk yard steering column and use?
How big of a job is it to swap out to a different steering column to fix this? If I fix this, is there a way to protect the column to keep this from just happening again?
Ideas or options?
thanks...
