Steering Parts To Look For

So then SS is out of the question I guess.

 

This is what I used for my Saginaw swap....got lucky & found a brand new one on CL for $75!
1972-1975 CJ, Power Steering

 

I've set two jeeps up with complete YJ power steering setups. Both drive great at low speed and freeway speed. Steering ratio is designed for shorter wheelbase vehicles.
YJ saginaw steering box, YJ saginaw pump, YJ stock hoses. For pitman arms there are a variety of YJ options from stock to drop to correct bump steer.
I did have to straighten out one end of the hard line by hand just a tad.
For really big tires you can swap the YJ box for a 98-99 Durango box that will bolt right in.
Why make things complicated with a mish mash ofparts or guess work?
I can go to just about any auto parts store in small town USA and walk out with off the shelf items.

 

Good stuff. I have all set up. Getting some engine stuff done so I can fire it up to check the PS system I’ve put together. Might have to replace the box as it is a PS box but was called off and used dry so not sure once pressurized if the seals hold.

 

So I have a 1971 CJ5 that I am rebuilding. Converting to Saginaw box. I see this thread is before 1971. What is different about the 1971 CJ5?

No differences in terms of steering '69-70-71 that I know of. Big changes for 1972, but they already have the Saginaw steering.
