CHESTNUTXE 7,310 Posted December 5, 2016 Guys i need a blank steering column for my xg will a xf fit ?or can i take apart the one i have and add the plastic shroud over it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,287 Posted December 5, 2016 I would think an xf one would be the same other than the ign barrel Assy.. Should undo and bolt up with a bit of mucking around removing the security sheer bolt. Fitting the shroud should not be too hard I would guess... If you have a grinder 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dvfalcon 352 Posted December 5, 2016 Don't know for sure but I can tell you I have changed a xe steering column from coloum shift to non coloum and then fitted xg tibbe lock ignition using xg shrouds. So there may be slight differnce but not major Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,310 Posted December 6, 2016 i was just down the wreckers and i found a blank eb-ed column and a xf they seem to be the same but the ed has the adjustable up and down ,but the real question is will a ea-ed column fit a xg with a steering box,cause the others had a rack ,unless they all line up the same ? i no when i changed my xe from column non power steer to power steer i needed the correct colomn because of the crush sleeve or something like that ?

(top one adjustable, column auto never were adjustable unless maybe on XG?)due to the flange for steering box(might be XG on the top even, the lock assy is gone. you dont need to change the steering column for manual to power steering, the coupling end slides in and out (tight fit) if you are running a clevo you wont need any of the smart lock stuff, so can use an XF ign lock(or a rocker switch and a start button if ts only going on a track..) 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,310 Posted December 6, 2016 i think your right that top one could be a xg column. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
