I recently had a wreck in my 1998 jeep cherokee. After having it fixed the steering now feels loose. It was not loose before the wreck. The mechanic that did some of the other work told me he noticed it was loose but thought it was ok but just be aware it was loose. He said it wasn't going to stop steering. I don't know.

I have also noticed it's hard to get the key out of the ignition. It may be the shifter is messed up. It looks like its in park but Im not sure it is since it wont release the key. I think I am in for more money. I have also noticed it's hard to get the key out of the ignition. It may be the shifter is messed up.

The damage from the wreck was all in the front end. It was mostly body work.... with the exception of the overflow on the radiator and a front tranny seal leak. I dont really know if it could have affected the steering box but apparently maybe it did. The damage from the wreck was all in the front end.
