The turn signal lever on our 94 YJ broke off this afternoon. Appears
to be metal fatigue on the metal core of the lever. The metal lever
has an outside sleeve which controls the wiper/washer. I can see the
other end of the rod in the hole...and it appears to have a ball
bearing that perhaps fit into a groove to hold the lever in place.

Had this happened to anyone else? Any repair tips would be
appreciated. It is not clear in my Chilton/Haynes manuals how the
lever is held into place.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

98 TJ
94 YJ
90 YJ

 

It will be similar to this Chevy steering column:
