steering

Hello! This is my first post on this forum of many to come, I'm sure. I recently purchased a '98 new to me Wrangler after driving mostly rental Wranglers for years. I've had it for about a month now and have been doing a standard tune up (fluids, belt, plugs, etc) and fixing other small issues...

I come to you all with great shame! I'm trying to learn how to work on cars, and I’m in the process of replacing my power steering gearbox. After I detached my pitman arm, to get better access to the bolt on the steering coupler, I rotated the steering wheel a 1/2 turn, which allowed me to...

Hello all, I have been researching and coming back to this forum site and wanted to help support the forum as yall have been very helpful in the past with me just reading reply and discussions. Long story short I got my jeep back from a friend (no longer) who was paying me monthly until the full...

My '04 TJ has never had any work done on the front suspension and now that it has 200k miles, it has a ton of vibration at highway speeds. Are there any recommended kits that basically replace everything that can wear out? I have no lift or any other mods.

Hey guys, I've got a 2000 TJ that gets pretty bad death wobble. I've been trying to figure out what should be replaced/corrected first. It was purchased with a 6in lift already installed and 35in tires, so I'm not too sure what all modifications have been made to it. I'm not very knowledgeable...

Hi everyone, I have a 100% stock 2005 with 45k that I have been refreshing before hitting the beach and doing some cruising this winter. I have been looking to improve steering feel. It tends to wander a bit on the highway and just feels sloppy and numb. Is this just normal for these cars...

Hey so here s a quick breakdown of what I did.. I wanted to lift my jeep and its a wonky setup so don't deep fry me please but I did a 2" coil spacer lift and 3" BDS springs, the 2" pucks were on there before hand from the last owners of my 1997 jeep wrangler sport 4.0.. I left them. I had my...

I did a bonehead thing and ordered a RHD steering kit and took too long to get to it before realizing it and now I can't return it. It is complete with tire rod, drag link, stablizer, and hardware. None of it fits an LHD TJ and is no use to us. Will ship at buyers expense. I'll get pictures...

I did a quick look around but didn’t see anything posted about it. Is anyone using the Barnes crossover steering kit? A shop recommended it to me today, and it’s priced low enough to consider as an alternative to the ZJ upgrade.

Hey everybody, I've been reading the forum a lot over the last 6 months as I prepared to buy my first jeep. I went with a 98' TJ 4.0. I got it at a great price, but part of the deal is that there are a lot of gremlins I need to chase to get things running smooth. I'm a long time shade-tree...

Hey everyone! I posted this yesterday actually and now both my account and the thread seem to have been deleted/ missing idk so I'm going to post again as I had some great responses! I have a 98 Tj with a 4.0 and I'm Just starting a few months ago I have bee having some troubles with steering...

Hey everyone, I'm planning to replace the tie rods, drag link, and control arms on my 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon. My current setup includes 2.5" Rough Country lift springs, Rancho 5000X shocks, JKS adjustable sway bar end links, and JKS track bars. Does anyone have recommendations for aftermarket...

I have a steering gear that was recently removed from my 1997 TJ. The Jeep has about 101k miles on it when removed and it was functioning without any issues. It was removed in the process of adding hydro assist. Other than a 1997, I am unsure what other years this may fit. If you have...

Hi! I have been reading this forum religiously since the past month to learn about maintaining and loving a TJ. I’ve been in the market for a TJ for some time and came across an ‘06 Sport with decent mileage, automatic, 4L I6, mostly been in WV and about 6 years in Ohio. What do you all think of...

Hi guys, I have a 2006 TJ Sport with the 4.0 and 6speed. I also have the stock steering box and setup. I am utilizing the ZJ steering upgrade as well. My power steering gear box has started to leak and I want to look into options for replacement. It leaks not enough to make a puddle but enough...

I have a 99 and am

Like-new Rugged Ridge Heavy Duty Steering Kit with damper mount. This one; https://www.extremeterrain.com/rugged-ridge-heavy-duty-crossover-steering-conversion-kit-9706-40l-tj.html I purchased as an open box RockJock deal, but was sent this instead. It appears to have been installed, but never...

I just purchased my first TJ and it’s frame Is in GREAT shape. No rust anywhere. It’s a great project car. I drove to AR to pick her up. She has a rebuilt motor and seems to have been kept up for the most part. I bought her from an elderly gentleman who says he’s basically just started her...

Only my third message ever in the forums, and I hate to be 'that guy', but here we go. According to the alignment rack AND my digital angle gauge, I'm sitting at 6.1* positive caster & 1/8 Toe-In. Despite that, the Steering will not "return to center". Meaning, at any speed, If I point the...

Hey, everyone. I've got what's essentially a stock TJ here and it has this cylinder attached to the steering. These are pictures taken from the modded one I bought, swapping engines and lift and all due to bad frame. They both have this, and I don't think it's hydro assist, because it looks...
