i was wondering if all the power steering stuff from a yj work on a cj. i know a guy who has the box, pump, brackets, and hoses. thanks
 
just wondering if anyone knows this, i can get a hell of a deal on this stuff if they will work. thanks
 
I did allot of reading and searching on this...

What YJ box? A saginaw? What engine is the donor vehicle and what is your vehicle (your AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l )?
 
mine is a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and the yj is a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . i havent looked at the stuff yet so im not sure. i only saw the water pump off it and it was different. im just not sure what mopar all changed on the yj. i just know of the headlights and leaf springs being different. if he has the booster and master cyl i might switch it to power brakes to.
 
well i looked at both pics of the boxes at work. they both look the same.
 
is there anything else i would have to change like the steering shaft or anything esle since i have manuel steering.
 
well i picked up the pump and bracket. does anyone have a pic of a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l with power steering so i can see how it bolts to the engine. now all i need is the steering box and drop pitman arm. is there anything else you guys think i might need. is the steering shaft the same?

Not great piks, but If you need any specific ones let me know and I'll snap a couple for you. You won't need the arm unless you are running more than 2.5-3" of lift. You will need the lower steering shaft.
 
thanks coldwater. can you get one lookin straight at the engine.
 
I'll try to get some before the sun goes down today.
 
i looked for the lower part of the steering shaft at work and cant find one. anyone know where i can get one of these or should i just go searching for a used shaft for power steering.
 
Do you still need this pic?

No problem buddy. If there is some specific shot you still need, let me know and I'll try to squeeze in there and get it for you.
