Steering Bell Crank and parts 1967 CJ5 V6
Great afternoon all!
I need to replace my steering bell crank. It's pretty much toast. It has
a 7/8" shaft though I cannot seem to find any parts that are for the V6
version of my Jeep. Is the 4 cylinder, 7/8" shaft the same as the V6??
Does anyone have a good source? I know I can get them (4cyl, 7/8") from a
number of different places, I am just curious about your personal
experiences.
Does anyone have one complete and in good shape you'd like to get rid of??
Thanks
Bomber

Re: Steering Bell Crank and parts 1967 CJ5 V6
That bell crank is the reason the old Jeeps are unsafe above 45
MPH, most of us have converted the old CJs to the sixties Chevy type
Saginaw steering box. It's not that difficult, I just welded a half inch
plate to the inside of the frame ahead of the front axle in the same
place Jeeps of today use it. Cut your stock column and figure out a way
to machine, bolt or weld the universal joints to it and an intermediate
shaft down to the box. The tie rod ends you have can be made to fit a
new drag link that comes across to get the one piece tie rod, out of
two. Or you could probably take the whole thing from a newer Jeep found
in the bone yard:

Above is a link, see the diagram toward the bottom. I will need all it's
pieces (3 and 3A), assuming I don't go with the Saginaw setup as Bill has
suggested.
