What does a bad steering box feel like?

A 10:1 box on a 20+ year old MJ or XJ is way too quick IMO on the street, unless there is absolutely zero slop in the steering, and I doubt there is an MJ or XJ anywhere that meets that criteria. Borgerson knows that, and probably doesn't re-man that ratio Saginaw box because of liability issues from moron inexperienced drivers running old iron.

I think it would just get you close to what newer vehicles with rack-and-pinion are like. The change to the ZJ box changes the steering from 3-1/2 turns lock-to-lock to 3 turns. Going to a 10:1 ratio would make it 2-1/2 turns lock-to-lock.

 

It's definitely on my bucket list for when I win the lottery.

I've got 2 93 ZJs out back. I can see removing the boxes, adjusting them, and then putting them on an MJ or 2......
