Do you have the 258-six or a four-cylinder? Air-conditioning? :eagle:
Just a suggestion, I installed a steering box from a Grand Cherokee(ZJ) in my 6 cylinder Eagle and a Cherokee(XJ) in my V8 Eagle. The Grand Cherokee box makes it almost feel like sports car steering but a little hard to turn in parking lots and the Cherokee box is an big improvement without the stiff steering a slow speeds. They are direct bolt ins to the Eagle.

6cyl with AC
so im guessing the less turns the stiffer the feel?
Typically, yes.
Was the XJ pitman arm the same angle? I have to do my box soon and the pitman is worn out too.
I used the Eagle's pitman arm.
