Hey y’all!

I picked up a ‘95 about a month ago and the steering was complete garbage. Almost a 1/4 turn of slop.

Last weekend I finished up swapping out the manual steering box, drive shaft and new drag link ends and now it steers as good as it’s going to (with manual steering). I loved how straight forward the job was and how relatively easy the YJ is to work on.

Anyway, I’m loving the YJ and glad I can drive it around now safely.

Where'd you get the drag link ends? What part numbers? I ordered replacement drag link ends and they don't fit my link, the diameter of the threaded shaft was too large.

Jeep is looking good!
 
I ordered off of Amazon, after a ton of searching for the right part number, and one ended up being the wrong size. It was too big.

So I have an AC Delco on the passenger side and ended up getting the pitman side end from O’reillys. I was shocked they had it. But served online and took in my busted one to make sure it would fit.
