Re: Steering Bell Crank and parts 1967 CJ5 V6
Yes. I 'love' my Haynes manual. It covers CJ's from 1949 to 1986 and is
spot on for any I have checked or offered advice on.
Steering gear on a CJ is by year, not engine. Power steering has
different pump brackets for different engines....

Re: Steering Bell Crank and parts 1967 CJ5 V6
The bell crank will have needle bearing and thrust washers and be
clamped into place. It was junk new.
