Power Steering Lines Leaking

[Warren99]

So my lines are cracked and leaking now. My truck is an 89, but I swapped a pump from a 96 cherokee a long time ago. When I did, I used one of the lines from the Cherokee, and one line from my truck.

My question is can I just order 2 new lines for a 96 cherokee and they both fit, or is the layout or steering box somehow different on a 89?

Order the ones for the 96 XJ, and they will fit fine on your MJ.

I just flushed my power steering fluid. Quick blurb about the power steering fluid in case you are interested:

 

The 1988 service manual states the Power Steering fluid for the 88 steering box is AMC# 8993342

Internet says the equivalent mopar# is MS-5931. MS-5931 = gm 9985010. 

It is clear in appearance, slightly amber on a paper towel.

Valvoline 602241 meets gm 9985010 spec.

 

I called up Keene, NH Jeep. mopar# 68218064ac is the current version of power steering fluid for cherokee / comanche.

It is called "power steering +4" It contains no ATF. I asked them specifically.

You can still get 68218064ac today.

 

I settled on the valvoline 602241. It's been working great so far. I needed 2 quarts to properly flush my power steering pump.
