I also have one from an 87, pm me if you need

I bought mine locally for 15 bucks. I did all the research and thought i would wind up hating it. My thoughts were that for 15 bucks i could just reuse the metal to fab up a different steering system. I read alot about tre spacers to cut down on the problems with this style steering setup, so...

Yes the push rod needs to be modified. There are multiple ways of doing this depending on what tools you have available. The first issue is that the push rods are different lengths, the stock booster push rod is shorter than the ZJ push rod. This causes the brake pedal to sit at different...

The bottom mounting points line up perfectly. I just did another alignment and took it for a test drive. No more bump steer. Was gassing it over bumps at 50mph and not even a hint. thanks again -Mike

Arm came off wayyy to easy. Just used a rental puller from checkers. Ive never ever had a pitman arm come off this easy. Total time was less than 5 minutes. old arm vs new arm And old angles And new angles Looks like i got the perfect length! Bye bye bumpsteer Thanks for all the...

I just got a DPA locally. Ill post a pic after its installed. Hopefully the angles will be sooper close. That is if i can get the old one off easily aha...

North West Tucson. Right on the edge of Marana. No clue what the drop is on the TB bracket. I measured with a square and i got 1.75 inches difference between draglink and TB but i wouldnt trust that measurement to be exact. Its difficult to measure on the jeep and i didn't feel like taking...

No its the rugged ridge setup. I bought it locally for 15 bucks so i thought i would give it a try. The trackbar and frame bracket are rough country. You can see in the pic that my drag link and trackbar angles are not parallel which is why i want to buy a drop pitman arm. I figure i need 1"...

yar thats how mine works

just for kicks

I already have upgraded steering. The problem still exists as my track bar is lower than my draglink so the angles do not match up. I need the drop pitman arm make the drag link and track bar parallel to each other. Still looking for a DPA Thanks -Mike

Looking for a drop pitman arm. Anywhere from 1 to 2.5 inches drop from the stock xj one. I recently installed a new track bar with frame bracket and neglected to read the instructions and now i has bump steer. A stock ZJ will work fine for me. The JY around here just got rid of all their...

The plugs and wires are really easy to change. Takes about an hour for me and im really slow. You just need the right tools. IF your O2 sensors were bad i would expect a check engine light. Doing basic maintenance will ensure that you are getting the proper gas mileage for your vehicle...

ive been running Daystar poly mounts for 3 years now without any problems. Previously i was changing my stock motor mounts every 6 months to a year. I have more vibrations than stock but nothing too much.

I had the same problem as the OP so i ran two wires to the starter switch by the battery, then installed something very similar to It is mounted to the left of the steering column on my 87 in the stock fog light switch area as i had no switches there. The switch on the left makes...
