Re: PS Fluid for a 98 TJ?
Mike -
From the FSM for 2004 TJ:
DESCRIPTION - POWER STEERING FLUID The recommended fluid for the power
steering system is Mopart ATF +4.
DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Mopart ATF+4, when new is red in
color. The ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids
used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is
not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition, As the
vehicle is driven, the ATF+4 will begin to look darker in color and
may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL. ATF+4 also has a unique
odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be
used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
This gives you an idea, but this is 2004, not sure if they changed
this over the years.

Re: PS Fluid for a 98 TJ?
Damn... was hoping my '99 FSM may help, but all it says is:
"Use MOPAR Power Steering Fluid or equivalent. Do not use automatic
transmission fluid and do not overfill."
Not much help, and I've never had to even top mine off.
