Manual to power steering
Can I just take out the manual steering box out of my 95 YJ and install a
power steering box? Is it a bolt on item or would I have to switch out the steering shaft out also... I have done Google searches and can't find that answer... Thanks, Ben 95 YJ 2.5L |
Re: Manual to power steering
Hi Ben,
Looks like about a five inch difference in their lengths: http://www.----------.com/YJcolumnShafts.pdf I would find a donor YJ outside a bone yard, to keep the costs down, it then should all change easily. Real Jeeps use Armstrong power steering.

Re: Manual to power steering
You might be able to order the linkage from some place like Quadratec.
A J20 steering box might be something to consider, since you are just installing this. --James "Ben" <bmccunenospam@knology.net> wrote in message news:73345$424f64ac$18d6851a$28537@KNOLOGY.NET... > Thanks Bill..

Which is the same Saginaw box as used in the YJ, and 1963 Chevy,
and other GM rear wheel drive passenger cars.

Re: Manual to power steering
Not all Saginaw boxes are the same. The mounts and the exterior maybe the
same, the gearing on the inside could be different. And in fact, the J20 is different from the Wagoneer which is different from a CJ. I know he is talking about a YJ. I haven't looked at a YJ steering box ratio to know if a J20 box is different. --James "L.W.

Re: Manual to power steering
Yup, that's why I left out GM pickups, as they mount outside the
frame, in the area Jeeps need for turning radius. Yes, and I for got about the ratios, that I only find different in Jeeps.
