I have a 97 XJ that had a reman steering box that started puking fluid so I replaced it with what I thought was a junkyard box in good shape. I checked it the way everyone says to look for to check condition. Now before I replaced it I had a clunk from steering. Now I have the same clunk just worse but the steering fells tighter than before. The cluck is almost like a crunching clunk and only makes itself known when transitioning from steering one direction to going the other direction. Once the transition has been made the sound goes away and it is silent through the rest of the turn all the way to lock. So say I had turned all the way to the right, then turned back to the left it would only make the sound when I begin to turn left and not get another sound all the way through the turn back to the left.
Does this sound like a bad box? I know with it being a junkyard box, that it is highly likely but it seems to check out ok otherwise.
