Posted: April 10th, 2008, 7:14 pm
this will work for the TJ that i know of as long as the rest have the same steering box this shal work for you as well
well my steering box was leaking from the input seal and from the pitman arm seal as well... so i went lookin for a upgrade cause it was leaking to the point that i was adding a Qt a day just drivin back and forth to work... i did sum searching on Jeepsunlimited and found that a steering box from a durango and a dakota will fit into a tj.... well a few calls to the junk yards in the area i got one from a 99 durango 4x4 non snow plow package.. for $100 instead of buyin a reman jeep one for a little over 200... when you put the two next to eachother they is a huge size difference between them... the durango one is much beefier.. and will bolt rite into the stock location... it is 3.5 turns lock to lock... and takes a bit less effort to turn my 33s and soon to be 35s
will post the pics when i get them off my camera
