Anthi4078 Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM I was putting a set of tow hooks on my truck today, and had to pull the steering gear to get access for a couple bolts. In front of the gear up against the core support was a big hunk of steel held down with 1 bolt through the bottom. It wouldn’t fit back in with the new bolts so I just left it out. I can’t find any mention of it anywhere online so I was just curious what the point of it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthi4078 Posted yesterday at 01:47 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:47 PM Ah so it does exist on paper! Mine does have power steering so I guess both types got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gjeep Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago A guaranteed nope. Neither my 91 or 92 MJ had it and I just replaced the 91’s steering box a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gojira94 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Confirmed present on a 96 XJ in my local boneyard a little more than a year ago. Question came up when I showed it in my build thread. Disappears from the parts catalogs in 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchamakalit Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Hmmm. I just changed my steering box and never encountered this spacer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gjeep Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Interesting -- possibly it only left the MJ not the XJ? My '89 MJ did had it when box was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
