    Cheers for the advice. Mines just started leaking from the power steering block so hopefully will be able to sort it myself. 👍 From UK 🍻

    what was the reason you change the steering box i ask because when i turn my steering to the left its easy but when i turn the wheel to the right its hard and i have to fight with it so my question is would that be the steering box or the rack and pinion?

    • @RikBor

      That is how mine was when I brought it and I drove it for a year or more and it got worse until it locked up on me on a busy intersection one day but quick thinking saved the day. I did manage to learn that if I rocked it left to right it would unlock and drove it for a couple of days like that till I changed it over. Scary shit when it locks up turning right at a intersection and all it can do is go right. I stopped and waited for clear travic and parked on the verge on the other side of the road (Australia) I managed to unlock the wheel and crawl home. Very very carefully LOL. I will do a clip soon stripping the box to see what happened on the inside. Thanks for watching the greatest Jeep channel in the WORLD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Thanks I will strip the old box soon and see what the problem was. Workshop still not finished due to health and funds looking after our disabled son. I promise to the world my channel will start running regular before man lands on Mars.

      @@BuiltByRik I think what he means is that with a LHD WJ there is nothing in the way of the steering box except the airbox. Once that is out it is wide open and easy to get to.

    Nice videos. If you would edit your video's more and cut out the parts that are not important, like struggling with trying to remove the steering gear box, for almost 3 minutes. your video's would be much shorter and better. More people are more apt to subscribe and watch them.
