Title: Upgrading RHD CJ Steering
Post by: 5536paulj on July 30, 2013, 10:19:10 PM

I'm wearing out track rod ends and bending steering rods, and I've just gone up to 35" tyres which will only make it worse.

Is there anything that can be done to upgrade the CJ RHD steering mechanism, nothing aftermarket about that I can see due to the unique mechanism, can stronger stuff from another RHD Jeep, XJ, TJ, YJ be modified to fit? I'll be moving from Narrow track to wide track soon if that helps.

All sensible suggestions accepted.
Thanks

my LHD CJ also runs 35s and the only mod box down is a box brace, above the box its mostly XJ
