Topic: yj power steering

[lqdtrance]

I want power steering. I ended up pulling all the steering components off of a 1990 cherokee. If I buy the correct mounts and correct hoses, will it work?

The pump and box are the same, but you'll likely need the YJ brackets to mount the pump.

Cool, all I needed to know, thanks. Off to look for YJ brackets.........

I'm not sure but I might have one.. depends if last clean up it got tossed

Let me know. I haven't found any yet. Surely I can get them at the junk yard though.

No luck with any of the local Junk yards. I can get most of the parts from the dealer but they can't get one of the brackets. Still looking around if anyone has any to get rid of.

You could also source parts from a 2.5L Dodge Dakota.  A Dakota steering box is a common swap for a YJ/TJ box as well.  I would think an XJ would be easy.  You should also be able to get parts off a 4.0L (XJ, ZJ, MJ, TJ, etc...) as they should use the same brackets.  I forget the exact year but in the 2000's when they switched things around on the engine so a bracket off one of the late models might not work.

Good to know. I got the power steering off an 89-92 cherokee sport, 4.0. The brackets would work but the bolt holes don't line up. I'll check out that site, Thanks.

can't remember for sure but i think the Cherokee had a different offset on the pulleys, might want to check that to make sure the belt is tracking properly (could be different years but i remember running into that issue at some point when i was scavenging some parts)
