i figured out today why my cj7 doesn't want to turn right

the rear bolt is broken on the steering gear bracket

and the front part of the bracket is also broken

so the steering gear is pivoting on 1 bolt

i did buy a agr super box

and a agr pump

i looked around on agr website a didn't see anything about a super bracket

i need a welder and a prayer   lol

any help will help

For welding assistance in the northern sphere I'd contact Eric at Monkeyparts in Lakewood.  There's also Todd in White Lake.  E-mail me directly for their contact info.

Doze,

I have some of the OEM brackets laying around.  I can bring them up this weekend?  Also various aftermarket places sell a brace for the CJs that goes from the Passenger side frame to the gear box just above the pitman arm. These help with the stress on those brackets and are a must if serious wheeling (IMO)

Do a search on Ebay for a CJ steering box bracket. They have several aftermarket ones out there. I put one on my 83 but I can't remember the brand off hand.

i decided to use the old bracket

i had my welder buddy weld the crack

then he welded a washer over the crack

we drilled out the broken bolt

and replaced it with a 1/2 in. grade 8

also ordered a bar from quadratec to help stabilize it

hopefully it sits high enough to miss some of the bigger rocks

thanx for the help
