I think I need to get a steering box brace. Do you have any metal bracing
for the steering box for support?
I went out wheeling and I was trying to turn the wheel and I couldnt turn
it at all. I was flexed out pretty well. I think my box is going out.

Thank You Very Much!!!
You were very helpful, I Love the Giant Rambo Knife. I’m swapping my
daughters 98 steering box today. You had us Laughing, your real funny as
well.
God Bless
Your spacer is still intact?!?!
Which steering box can I put into a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus to have less ratio?
Matt, I don’t know if my steering box is good or bad. I recently picked up
a 99 XJ with 221 miles on it. It likes to wonder in the lane on the
highway. No noises, shakes, clunks, etc. but I have a dead spot in my
steering wheel from 11-1 which makes driving sloppy. Any suggestions?
you should really pressure wash that thing not just to keep yourself clean
but also to keep mud and stuff out of the lines
got a question… I got a steering problem. my jeep turns perfectly fine
when turning right. but when I turn left it’s really hard to steer. I’ve
replaced the pump 3 times and same issue occurs. any idea what it might be?
I don’t have leaks at all. info will be appreciated
Good advice. I’ll be working on the steering box on my CJ this summer, so I
will keep that in mind. On the surface, the CJ job looks a lot simpler than
this, here’s hoping!
hey can you make a video on how to remove the steering shaft my bf has a 95
wrangler and he does not know how to remove it
Generally I like to hit the pressure washer first, makes it a little less
unpleasant to work on. 😉 I wish my power steering box bolts came out that
easy. I had to heat up the nuts/nutserts/whatever they’re called between
red and white hot and hit the bolts with the impact to get them out. That
was after I learned the hard way on one of them that you DO NOT want snap
them off and try to drill them out. Oh, mine is a CJ, so it’s a bit
different, no aluminum to worry about melting. 😉
first you should check the things I go over on the death wobble videos,
even though you dont have death wobble you could have something loose down
there. after youve checked all that then the last step might be tightening
your gearbox. Ive got a vid coming out soon for that.
That’d be a great how-to-vid!!
yes, it is.
I would assume you have a bad gearbox.
same with me on my xj
well make sure it is the correct steering box first. also they are keyed so
make sure the gear box and the pitman arm keys line up.
Nice machete. I just did this to my Jeep Cherokee Classic ’06 and I
couldn’t have done it without this video. I ended up removing the other end
of the pitman arm because I didn’t have a puller on hand and my jeep has a
brace that makes getting to that bolt difficult. Also, removing the air
filter box makes getting to the hoses and the steering linkage a lot
easier. My bolt was facing up on the linkage. I saved $350 because of this
video. Thanks.
I’ve been having problems with zombies lingering around the shop.
Ok now I see why you skipped the actual removal, mine was stuck on like
crazy! I have a 96 ZJ mine didnt have that bracket behind the gearbox? Huge
note if you have an airbag DO NOT let the steering wheel turn.
they were, nice spot!
Just had to swap one of these out on a friends xj when we sheared two of
the bolts trying to install bracket for new bumper and the spacer was junk
coming off. Matt do you know best way to extract sheared bolts from the box?
Ill have to check that, I didnt notice.
Great will do, thanks for all you do posting your videos. Fun and
informative.
Ive never had any real problems with the stock box but many people have
said they like the upgrade. As for me I just tapped mine and will do a
hydro assist soon.
Definitely should upgrade! Have you looked into swapping in a durango box?
It looks like some of your track bar brecket hold down bolts are loose….
One of them look almost all the way off….
I had to replace the steering box out of my 1979 Jeep CJ7 once, Didn’t turn
out to well…. two stripped bolts and I had to re thread every single
hole. Honestly a 16 year old shouldn’t have to “try” and replace one by
himself hehe. turns out the steering box wasn’t even the problem either. I
ended up selling her because a hole in the frame that i didn’t have time to
fix. 🙁
Is that spacer really needed?
i was wondering your opinion of the durango box upgrade.
think I’m just going to go hydro assist.
Great video man!
