Will an 05 steering box work for a replacement?

    Just triple checking..



    bought an 05 power steering box to replace my 97.





    yes no maybe so?

    97-02 and 03-06 have different part numbers. I believe it's just a hose/fitting thing, but I'm probably wrong. If nobody answers, I'll look further into it after I get to work. :)

    I am running an XJ box in my TJ. 97-01 style. Got it off of ebay for $20. Might want to check one of those out.

    You do own a hairdryer don&#039;t you she asked? Of course I do, he replied, it&#039;s in the driveway, it&#039;s called a Jeep.<br /><br />Current - 97 TJ, 99 WJ, 12 Scion tC<br />Past - 94 ZJ, 02 TJ, 06 Rubicon, 06 XK, 07 Scion tC

    Scott I'm not worried about that at all, I was just triple checking before I ripped this thing out, ill find out either way whether they are the same size or not..if not like I said its not a big deal..

    Did you figure this out Jamie?


    I just did the opposite and replaced my Mercedes box with a built Saginaw. Yes the lines are in a different spot but I was able to re-run my old lines so I think you'd be ok there. Changing the bolt pattern wouldn't be too bad but like I posted previously, you would need a longer intermediate shaft to compensate for the shorter box. (I have one if you need one.)


    It sounds like more work than it's worth for your application but that's your call. :-\

    Hey bill looks like I'm gonna get the one off mike, just gonna ship it, not worth the headache but thanks for the offer on parts/help. Jeep will be back in my hands full time once the little brother finds the truck he's looking for..so I'm just trying to get everything tight the way I want it, don't we all :innocent:
