steering column
my telescoping mechanism/motor does not work.. is this a simple motor swap plug and play? also, more importantly - I noticed that my steering wheel is not fully secure and can "push/tilt" foward(towards the windshield) about a 1/4 of an inch.. very strange, has anyone experience this? the steering wheel comes back to place, but it doesnt take a whole lot of pressure for the steering wheel(oris the whole column assy?)to "give" forward.
thanks.
thanks.

RE: steering column
I think the tele issue is a cable, I've heard they wear out. But I don't know how big an issue it is to replace it.
The loose wheel is a column bushing (made of plastic, I think)that apparently wears out the day after the factory warranty expires. Every X300 I know of has that issue. I guess you could try knocking both jobs out at the same time. Probably won't be easy though.

I got mine off ebay for $45.

I was just recently gifted a 95 xj6 (6/14/14) and my tilt worked for a little while, but the telescoping feature all you heard was the motor run and no movement at all. Now all I hear is relay clicks when the switch is moved in the desired direction for the telescope. While trying to adjust tilt, the motor runs but the column does not move.
I assume this would be the same issue, but I'm curious if there is more then one motor for these combined features? I realize this is an old thread but thought maybe this issue has become more prevalent over time.
Thanks in advance, Drew

There is just the one motor and if you hear the motor running with no "telescopic" action, it is most likely the little drive shaft that has gone kaput. I replaced mine some time back ad posted some pics of the procedure/assembly. I didn't have to remove any of the dashboard, just the under scuttle, dropped the steering column, which is easily removed if needed and the motor just clips in place.

Actually there are separate motors for the reach and the tilt functions. See here

It happens to the best of us, no worries! I'm sure you were just addressing the issue with the telescope feature, when in fact, sadly neither funtion is working at this time. I have yet to look through those other posts to see the R&R procedure as well as parts required for the job. Just like many of you out there probably don't like to tackle a job without having atleast some knowledge of the task at hand. Thanks for the help!
