Kenosha Warrior Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Ive only had the MJ on the road since 3pm yesterday and already I'm jonesing for a PS pump and gear. its a pain in the arse. couldn't park it at walmart or canadian tire lastnight, had to sit it diagonally across 3 spots. Hopefully next weekend I can make it out to my friends place and get that old XJ he has sitting there. AX-15, 201, I6 w/ 90, 000km and all the goodies.

JN_comanche_luvr Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the steering box or the linkage? Maybe it's low on lube? Surely steering that's THAT hard is NOT normal. I had a '77 Dodge full-size van with manual steering and it was not that hard to turn, and you just KNOW it had a heckuva lot more weight up front than a Comanche ...

Kenosha Warrior Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 its not tough, its just a b*@$£. if I white-knuckle the wheel, I can turn it while the trucks not moving... its just a pain :) Oops! Rob, my apologies. I hit edit instead of quote and messed up your post. EEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JN_comanche_luvr Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 OK, was just curious ... I've had my share of manual-steering vehicles ('89 Ford Escort and Chevy S-10, '77 Dodge van, '80 Dodge Aspen, etc. etc.), and, given the power steering problems I've had with various vehicles over the years (mostly my GM products, like my present Safari), I'd rather have manual! But it is definitely one of those "to each his own" things ... not everyone likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Anything off-road and manual owns you bad. It's not the same, but I broke the serpentine belt on my XJ (idler seized) and had to load it onto a trailor like that. 4lo and steering like that, takes a half hour to load the f'ing thing.
