steering box replacement
« on: December 24, 2011, 05:35:03 PM »
I heard a Dodge Dakota steering box is a bolt in replacement for my 1987 Wrangler   is that true?    Why is it better, anyone  know?  My steering box is real sloppy I adjusted it and its still sloppy but now stiff as well

  It is for the 97 and 98 TJ's........I don't think it is for any of the YJ's

A bit off topic but FYI I found that steering boxes go for around half the price in the US...but don't forget to bring a core...It may actually be worth the drive to Montana...and there's no import duty on US made goods so I only had to pay GST.

The Durango box is said to have a tighter ratio so that it takes less turns of the steering wheel lock to lock.
