Replace a failed tilt release cable without buying an entire new assembly. The Dorman - OE Solutions Tilt Column Release Cable 905-525 directly replaces the original equipment cable on the 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 2002-2005 Jeep Liberty and 1997-2005 Jeep Wrangler. When this cable fails, the original manufacturer sells it only as part of an entire new assembly. This Dorman OE FIX solution lets you replace just the failed cable instead, which saves money.
The release cable carries the movement of the tilt lever to the steering column's release. This lets you unlock the column and adjust the steering wheel position.
- Direct replacement: replaces the original equipment tilt column release cable on the listed Jeep applications.
- Cost-effective solution: an inexpensive alternative to buying an entire new assembly from the dealership.
- Application specific: designed for the 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 2002-2005 Jeep Liberty and 1997-2005 Jeep Wrangler.

This cable may need replacing if the tilt lever moves but the column stays locked, if the lever feels loose or has no resistance, or if the column will no longer adjust. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. If the release cable is the failed component, this cable replaces it without replacing the full assembly.
