Steering Parts for Jeep CJ7
Genuine and Replacement Parts for Steering Gear, Tie Rods and Power Steering (1976–1986).
Why the Steering System in the Jeep CJ7 Develops Play Over the Years.
The steering system of the Jeep CJ7 is among the most heavily stressed assemblies on the vehicle – every bump, every turn of the wheel, and off-road driving in particular put direct strain on joints, bushings, and seals. Tie rod ends and drag link ends develop play over time, dust boots crack and let dirt and moisture reach the joints, promoting corrosion and premature wear. The steering gear box loses power steering fluid through worn seals, steering shaft bearings seize up, and the steering stabilizer loses its damping effect, causing bump-steer and steering wheel shimmy. Ball joints, the pitman arm, and the steering column bearings also wear down with mileage. Anyone driving their CJ7 off-road or running larger tires should inspect the entire steering geometry regularly for play and leaks.
