This may well be a little info is a dangerous thing, but having read about 30 JP mags (thanks Wildwood) in the last month or so there is a consistent and strong slagging off for the CJ7 power steering set up, which it would appear is made of egg shell!
So, I know Nosey & Sparks had issues here, so im wondering whether its worth changing when the CJ goes to live with MJS in the spring or is this just a problem (takin aside those 2 birties) for US jeepers that think they drive mountain goats?
As far as I can tell, if I were to change then I need heavy duty steering box mount and replacement (borgeson) steering shaft, and ideally (& this shud be a piece of piss to find) a steering box from a 70's Camaro! The CJ dropped pitman bolts right up to it.
Waddya reckon? Waddya thorts? Waddya advise?
I got a few months to shop before it goes to Bubba. If it makes any difference (
) it will be changing to the narrow track dana 44's, the 401, and 35 muds (even if it dont make any difference I do like saying all that
)
Note: For those that love my journey so much they feel compelled to mock the route, please be aware that I know I dont need to worry and change it on a CJ that has lived in the garage for the last 2 yrs
but as its going to MJS im confident that will be changing
