ZJ pitman arm on a YJ?
« on: May 24, 2006, 08:38:10 PM »
I think I read somewhere you could use a Grand Cherokee pitman arm (which looks too be a 3 or 4 inch drop) on a YJ. Are the steering boxes the same, same splines? That would be nice if I could find a used or junkyard one for my 94 YJ for 20-30 bucks as opposed to 80-90 bucks for a new drop pitman arm after lifting mine 4". The bumpsteer kinda sucks with my stock pitman.

Anyone happen to have one in my price range?

I believe it is the 94 ZJ pitman arms.  search or post the question on ECO because there are a few guys there that know for sure

TJ YJ XJ ZJ are all the same spline. An XJ pitman arm is the same as the ones supplied with a TJ 4" lift kit. A ZJ pitman arm is 1" longer than an XJ pitman arm. Make any sense?
