Crown Automotive Coded Ignition Cylinder with Keys Reviews
Easy to install - Just wish they said Jeep on the keys!
The Crown cylinder doesn't have the "ears" that surround the key bow and shoulder when inserted. The '97 TJ factory unit has these ears, which absorb the twisting torque while engaging the starter, and aid in key extraction. The Crown unit fits, and works okay, but is inferior to the original. The Crown cylinder lacks provision for retaining the eared collar, and is of a larger diameter, so swapping the old collar to the new cylinder is not an option. I wound up rebuilding the original unit, having new keys cut, and am using it. I now have a spare ignition lock cylinder in the event the original becomes so worn it is no longer serviceable. I gave 4 stars because it is exactly what I ordered, I just hadn't noticed the difference until I had installed it and it felt different.
The Key's a little tough to extract but assembly fit as promised.
