81 CJ5 Steering Gear
I have a 1981 CJ5 with power steering, no additonal lift and 10.5 x 31
tires. I have had it for about 6 years. I bought it from a guy who at one some point replaced the steering gear. He told me when I bought it that it has the incorrect steering gear and as a result, the steering is very touchy. When on the highway, I have to be extremely careful not to bump the wheel, as I will go flying off the road. So my question is, where can I get a stock steering gear, remember it has power steering. And what should it cost. Wanna see a picture of my Jeep? http://www.angelfire.com/ok/beakl/ Thanks for any help Brad |
Re: 81 CJ5 Steering Gear
You should be able to buy a remanufactured steering gear at most parts
stores for $150-$180. They probably have to order it and you'll wait a couple of days. You can also order from 4Wheel Drive Hardware or some of the other Jeep catalogs. You could also go custom and get an AGR steering box for $370. First step should always be to give a quick call to the local parts store and they might surprise you. Good luck. o_o_o_o Best Regards, /| ,[_____], Jim, WP3JQ |ŻŻŻL --O|||||||O- ()_)Ż()_) ŻŻŻŻŻ )_) EM60qk 30.447439N 086.628959W "Ghostbuster" <brad2004@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:M5obc.4474$yV5.2914@newssvr24.news.prodigy.co m... > I have a 1981 CJ5 with power steering, no additonal lift and 10.5 x 31 > tires.
