steering

Looking for someone that has actually done a front Coil Spring conversion on their CJ, not coil over, I've done that on my Big Scrambler! On my second Scrambler I want to do Coil Spring 3 link in the front. I am of course going to do 4 link with Coils in the rear, which I also have done on my...

I recently upgraded my steering column to the Borgeson in my 1985 CJ with power steering. I could not find a good video for this swap so I decided to make one. Only issue I ran into was getting the coupler to fit onto the lower column shaft but I eventually got it. Hope this helps someone.

I just installed a new steering column and after completing my dash lights are out. Head lights, tail lights, markers all work. Also the indicator lights in the dash work (brake, blinker, high beam, etc) It's just the alumination that is out. I checked all the fuses and they are good. I...

Has anyone out there swapped a power steering gear box for a manual one? I have a 76 cj5 that I want to put a manual steering box in due to some other changes I’ve done to the jeep and want to simplify some things. Is it just a direct swap or do I need to get new linkages on both the steering...

I'm adding PS to my 76 CJ. I've heard there are many options for steering boxes and pumps. Also adding a keyless tilt column. I'm 6'1" so going with a 28" aftermarket. Any suggestions regarding all would be much appreciated, including hd box bracket. TIA, and happy to be here.

Occasionally my 78 cj7 won't do anything when you turn the key in the switch unless you "Fonzy" (bump the bottom with your palm) the steering column. It then cranks as normal. Any ideas?

I recently acquired a 74cj5 and where the steering column passes through firewall it has a lot of slop, as if there is a missing bearing or bushing. Looking for advice/ info on how to approach and if there are parts available to fix.

I just noticed that my steering column shaft is missing the bolt for the clamp on the upper part of the steering column shaft. Does anyone know the size of it so i can get a replacement. Just eyeballing it, it looked to me like maybe 3/8". I found one from dead jeep.com but they want 20$ for it...

Well, I am tired of dealing with not having any feel at the steering wheel, and ABSOLUTELY no return to center. The thing tracks as straight as an arrow as long as I don't do anything, and I mean anything, to alter the steering input. If I sneeze or even scratch my nose, I am liable to end up...

Does anyone have an ideal of what the caster should be set at on a 82 CJ5 with a 2 1/2" lift?

Installed a new power steering pump on my 360 in my CJ5 awhile ago and it's leaking like a sieve at the connection of the high pressure line to the pump. I read on another forum it may be the wrong style fitting between the pump and hard line. Some were flared and some had an o ring. I'm...

Good morning everyone. Since this is my first post and I am very new to all things jeep please don’t flame me too bad. I recently rescued a 79 CJ5 from the scrap yard. This was my wife’s grandfathers jeep. About 25 years ago my father in law blew the jeep apart planning on doing a...

Currently converting a manual steering 1984 CJ7 SVP to power steering. Currently has YJ OME spring lift, SUA. Have seen conflicting info on the YJ pitarm arm usage. Some say it is interchangeable with the CJ7 arm, but seeing other post say it is not clocked correctly and needs to be filed...

I have a '75 CJ5 with a 258. The jeep and suspension are stock and I am curious what can be done (if anything) to reduce the extremely rough ride on rocky terrain. I realize these old CJs are old school single axle and don't have the suspension of newer jeeps. But I'm wondering if anyone has...

I’m new to the CJ community and just purchased a pretty solid, well sorted 1972 CJ-5 with a Meyers 1/2 cab. It has a 258 from a 1979 CJ-7 and already has power steering installed. With the 1/2 cab, getting in and out is a bit tricky. The steering wheel is in the middle of my chest. I’m...

1984 CJ7, 4 inch spring lift. What shocks are you guys running that seems to ride a little better. Need to change mine. Thanks

1982 CJ8, non-tilt, manual steering. I am trying to put a new lower bearing on my steering shaft. There is a piece at the bottom of the shaft blocking the way. It almost looks like the old bearing fused to the shaft, but I have seen other shafts with this piece, and others without it. What am I...

I am rebuilding the steering column on my 1982 CJ8, without tilt steering. In need of the plastic shroud below the metal bowl. Mine is cracked. See pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Considering the BDS 2.5” lift w/ nitro shocks but concerned with eng weight. I also like the OME 2” lift but it is double the price of the BDS. Thoughts and advice welcomed. The jeep gets a little squirrely under power. I recently added power steering and that helped a lot. I think dropping her...
