CJ-7 Ex Golden Eagle, now is miscellaneous version personalized.

AMC 304 V8 4 Speed.
The borgeson shaft does not require a coupler. I would suggest passing on that new and very expensive shaft and just replace the coupler providing the end connections are o.k. I installed that shaft and found that it just has too many set screws to come loose.

Hi to everybody.

I want to do an upgrade to OEM power steering shaft to a new Borgeson steering shaft. But i don't understand if i must change also upper and lower theese items:

I put on a Flaming River Eezy-steer shaft that has a compression spring where it sleeves onto the pwr steering box. Even if I didn't tighten the upper and lower collar bolts, it would never come off.

Were I doing the job you have, I'd put new bearings where the steering column comes thru the firewall. It is relatively easy, relatively cheap, and you may never have to do it again. This replacement reduced steering slop.
 
If your plastic bearing retainer is not broke you do not need the whole kit just the bearing.
Any shaft that replaces the OEM pinned u-joint & bell coupler is a improvement, made my own with PTO u-joints, steering yokes & DD shafts from old steering shaft (had Flaming River sold it because it was for a early CJ5 and too short).
 
Ok thanks.

If i understood very well: on the steering box will don't change nothing, only on the upper i will change the beering and the plastic kit.

Right?

Correct.
 
I had mounted the Borgeson 000910 on my cj.

For pull the old steering shaft, it's very simple, before i had pull the two bolts (one of each side) and after i had cut the older shaft :-) .
After i had install the new bearing, and then the new steering shaft, is very simple.

The drive is very beautiful now!

Thanks for tour help.
