agr power steering box 2
 

hello there! does any one here have any experience with one of these? i'm
looking to replace or rebuild my oe steering box. i have an 85 cj7. i've
heard that i can use a gm or camaro box as seen here
http://www.cjoffroad.com/writeup.asp?WU_ID=17&noAdd=1
i'd like to have a variable turning ratio-i think the ratio on the old box
was too low-it took to many turns of the wheel to turn the car.
thanks for any advice!

Re: agr power steering box 2
 

I have the AGR I and, while I have no complaints, I wish I had spent a
couple more dollars for the 2-stage. Sometimes the steering is a little too
responsive on the highway.

The reason AMC switch to the GM style Saginaw steering box is we
all converted from the bell crank center point steering:

To the plentiful '63 Chevy steering box. I bet you'll be happier with
the twenty to one ratio made especially for the off road capable Jeep:

That's a manual box Bill!
One of the best upgrades I made to my CJ-7 was going from a manual to power
box. No way would I recommend a manual box for the trail.
I used a factory refurbished, stock Saginaw.
