Steering gearbox


Recommended Posts

Swapping out manual gearbox with... Yes another manual one. Anything I need to know about doing this swap. I searched the DIY section but didn't see anything on it. Just want to make sure I do this correctly without missing anything. 87 2.5 4spd. Any help or tips would be appreciated! It looks like it's a pretty clear cut swap but ya never know! Thank you!

What are you swapping in? Or are you replacing? Should be just bolt out, bolt in. I just replaced the one in my XJ, PS though. I was adjusting it, and then the front seal was leaking. replaced it with a Cardone. It did help a bunch with the XJ from wondering. Still, wonders a bit. Did you need adjustment instructions  or other info?

Just swapping a rebuilt one in. Are there any adjustments needed. An alignment done? Or just make sure I have the steering wheel in right position when putting in? I know it's the gearbox. While drivingthe steering wheel has a ton of play in it. Previously I've had tried just adjusting but it's long beyond that point. 29 years was a good lifespan for the part.
