    Angry Steering column broken, ack! 1990 XJ

    Is this common ? - vehicle has 125,000 miles on it - but my mechanic says I need a new one. Damn.

    I guess if you've been using it as a pogo stick. I have a 147k on my 1998 and it seems fine.

    Well there is some play in mine but the thing has 248,000 miles and I still drive it. I am hoping to rebuild it with new bushings and such.
