Do you have the 258-six or a four-cylinder? Air-conditioning?

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?

[eaglefreek]

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.
