Jeep steering shaft question.

[86WH1turbo]

I just picked up the jeep steering shaft for my T Type. Looking at the small end I see some of the splines are gone and a little messed up on others. Is this a problem? Are the splines needed full intact? Any help would be appreciated.

You should be fine. If you have a small triangular file you can clean them up some so they grab a little better.
