Yeah. Jeep tilts fail in one way or the other. Either you can’t tilt the steering column, or the steering column doesn’t lock into position. That’s a fun way to drive!

If you can live with where the steering column is positioned that costs nothing. If you must have a tilt steering column then the easiest and cheapest way to fix it is replace the steering column with one from a local auto parts recycler.
