Title: Durango Steering Box in Wranglers
Post by: BlackYJ on December 24, 2005, 02:16:27 PM
I read some where that a Durango Steering Box is a direct bolt in to a TJ and not sure about a YJ, but I can't find where I read this.  Has anyone ever heard of this and knows which Durango's will work.  Also does anyone know if it will work in YJs.

Thanks

If it's a Saganaw then it would be.  They are the most common boxes on Domestic trucks.  The biggest difference is the steering ratio though.

Yeah I heard that it is a little bigger and provides extra force to help turn the weight of bigger tires.

This is worth researching ,  is it fact or fiction ?

I would like to know ,......... my 88 has a steering box leak .  I've got an overhaul kit , would prefer to overhaul a "spare" , then do the install once the steering box is ready. Because it's the middle of winter and the 88 is a DD , I'd like  to keep the down time to a couple of hours.
