This video is a year old, but still is very helpful. You by far are the easiest to listen to, and are very clear on instructions. Thank you so much for these videos, they have helped me a lot with my grand Cherokee
Once again , straight and to the point ! I’ve been wrenching on my ‘97 ZJ’s for over 20 yrs and find Barricade’s (what’s the dude‘s name ? ) videos to be spot on without wasting a second of your time ! I just changed my steering gearbox last week and should’ve watched this video first - I wouldn’t have had to look for socket sizes and torque specs ! Great job once again, Barricade Garage !
Concise information, video views we need to see, short helpful tips along the way, all make for one of the BEST DIY repair channels here. Gold Standard for me and my '98 Grand Cherokee maintenance needs.
These are some of the best repair videos on RUclips hands down!!! I appreciate how you explain everything all the way down to where to place the jack stands.
I love that you put the recommended torch wrench pounds and clearly show every area. You've helped me put my Jeep back on the road, I could have never done it without your direction.
Just replaced my steering gear today, and, again, your video was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process. Just bought my third '96 ZJ two weeks ago for my son, so your videos will help us BOTH tackle all the items it's gonna need. As has been said many times in the comments section of your videos, you are a great instructor. We appreciate it!
Dude even on the things I know how to do, or have done before countless times I'll still watch. Love how you lay out your videos there's always enough video representation with short clear and concise directions. You're a great video creator man. Keep up the great work.
Usually these repair videos are done by shadetree mechanics. Barricade makes a very professional video, clearly explaining the steps and the torque specs for the fasteners. A nice change! Thank you!
Thanks for a great video! I appreciate the attention to details like socket sizes and torque specs. It helped me be prepared and following your procedure helped the job go very smoothly. Keep up the good work!
I just went to get an alignment on my 97 ZJ after installing a passenger side tie rod. They told me I have too much play in the steering box to properly align the vehicle. Now I have to get a steering box! Thanks for the video!
Working on a newer Jeep...but your video was very helpful in visualizing what I needed to do. Lots of how to videos out there with someone telling you what they did while putting there finger on a shiny new part and tapping it while saying you should change this part. Thank you very much!
Thanks for another great video brother. I used the radiator vid to install my new water pump and aluminum radiator. Guess what’s next. My steering gear box is leaking like a mug. You rocked out just what I need to fix next! You are a blessing.
Maan you are doin it , I have a 1998 ZJ. and I'm just gettin started with replacing everything just as you are Keep up the good videos bruh !!! I watch everyone you make and it makes my repairs go smooth... appreciate the work and videos
Replaced that steering gear today 2-21-2022. Feel like I’m driving a caddy. Went with a Lares new box. All the “slop” in the wheel gone. Appreciate the video fam.
Thanks,Man. Great video. I am just about to do that to my 1995 Grand Cherokee. Very clear and informative. One of the best concise instructional videos I've found. I'll be watching you. ;)
Great Video, I had play like that in my 97 ZJ, I started with the gear box and pump, still had play , then replaced all steering components even lower and upper control arms and track bar, just to find out my ball joints was seized, onece I replaced those the steering was touchy the way it should of been, the whole front end was brand new.
Ive learned alot from you mann. I appreciate the time and effort you put out to your jeep just like i do mine. I watch all your videos about any jeep youve done. Again thanks Cuzzo
I've been by here on a few videos and they have all been really well done. Clear and to the point. Subbed! Here's hoping my 98 XJ is fairly similar to your ZJ
Hi, I came from Germany and look your videos. Great job! I have a Grand Cherokee zj 5.2. 95. He comes from Canada. I like this car but the parts from this Jeep very expensive in Germany.
Great video dude. I have a 98 5.9 grand cherokee. My steering box is so bad it wiggles left and right and the jeep doesnt move lol. It has alot of olay in it. Also pops too. Just havent gotten around to replace it. One issue with the manned pumps and gearboxes though is they are normally trash. Gone through 3 of the remaned steering pumps. I probably woulda greezed or antiseized the steering shaft and bolts though after putting them back on
You may need a new ps cap. My old one wouldn't play well with the new pump for some reason. I bought the dorman one off amazon, nice and tight now and no more slow leak.
One of the best videos I’ve seen produced on RUclips for any automotive repair! That you’re working on a ZJ makes it even better! Your rig looks great BTW. What lift did you use? That’s my next move on my ‘97.
Hi again, killer video as always! Sorry to bother you with a dumb question, but there is a small hose that appears disconnected and is resting on the plastic cover at 1:03-1:05... what is that supposed to be connected to? It came off when I removed my air cleaner. Bless
Thats the vent hose from the front axle. It does not connect to anything and the factory position was under the air cleaner box so you can zip tie it to something so it doesnt drag on the ground
So I just repplaced mine with a remanufactured one from Advanced auto. I'm still having issues with the truck swaying back and forth in the lane and it's hard to drive so I'm doing the upper control arms. I did the lowers watching your vid last week of course my cam bolts did not come out nice and easy like yours so have new ones otdered. My mechanic buddy says the gear box I got is junk. How is the AC Delco I'm tired of throwing money at this damn truck!
You said you replaced a non-variable assist line but that part number says it does have assist. What is the difference? And did you mean to use that one
Sorry I forgot to mention I had to buy a non variable assist high pressure line from advanced auto because I ordered the wrong one from rock auto. If your box isnt hydro tapped and is stock then get the non variable assist line because the variable asssist has a longer neck and wont fit right.. Heres my video focusing on the power steering lines and the correct part numbers to use ruclips.net/video/J21TtFRANJ4/видео.html
Ive had everything you replaced here replaced in my 97 zj limited TWICE by firestone. unfortunately the warranty is no longer, but the sloppy steering is still a problem. Anyone have any idea whats up?
Hey Barricade, great video as always. One thing however seems unclear to me; at 2:50 you mention removing the steering lines with an 18mm crows foot wrench but this step is never shown. Are you simply taking them off the old gear box and attaching them to the new one before mounting it at 4:50?
Yes all im doing is taking them off the old box and putting them on the new box .. Heres my quick power steering line replacement video if intetested ruclips.net/video/J21TtFRANJ4/видео.html
thanks for all great videos.do you have any experience with the pump and box with speed proportional steering 96 5.2 v8 with tow package having a issue with the steering locking up not good thank you
Just want to say thanks for all the videos you have done on your ZJ’s. You are an easy going easy to listen and learn from kinda dude.
Clamdiggerdan Boone Thanks. I apreciate your comment!
I second that. Very good videos.
I say third that...well done and fast.
I say fourth that... What the first guy said.
Igual,,, desde mexico,,, buen trabajo amigo
This video is a year old, but still is very helpful. You by far are the easiest to listen to, and are very clear on instructions. Thank you so much for these videos, they have helped me a lot with my grand Cherokee
I appreciate that you are verbal and clear. You showed the work that needs to be done and didn't just fast forward it. Very explanatory. Thank you.

Hi, I came from Germany and look your videos. Great job! I have a Grand Cherokee zj 5.2. 95. He comes from Canada. I like this car but the parts from this Jeep very expensive in Germany.
night rider the parts in America are pretty cheap. Thanks for the support
Definitely subscribed and bell notifications all the way up. Working on my 98 zj soon .
My man as always pretty good keep it up cheers :D
Great video dude. I have a 98 5.9 grand cherokee. My steering box is so bad it wiggles left and right and the jeep doesnt move lol. It has alot of olay in it. Also pops too. Just havent gotten around to replace it.
One issue with the manned pumps and gearboxes though is they are normally trash. Gone through 3 of the remaned steering pumps.
I probably woulda greezed or antiseized the steering shaft and bolts though after putting them back on
Great video! I'm thinking about doing this to one of my zj's. You make it look achievable.
Please do plenum intake replacement
you made this look so easy. Thanks for this. Not sure I want to tackle it, but if I do I'll be using this video.
Real informative 👌 just did my bro in-law and had no problems doing this only with the Pittman arm dragling other than that easy
Best video on the net
Excellent write up
great instructional video,please may i suggest you include new part numbers used in future videos as i feel this would be most helpful
You may need a new ps cap. My old one wouldn't play well with the new pump for some reason. I bought the dorman one off amazon, nice and tight now and no more slow leak.
+leakyjeep5.9 I broke the new return hose nipple on the new pumps reservoir so I had to put the old resevoir on the new pump. All is good
Thank you for us great video. Pretty sure my box is bad, Ill need this video to tackle the job.
Thank You So Much Bro! I really appreciate the step by step!
This was dope bro
Nice explanation and good work on the video! I am doing about the same stuff on a '98 ZJ
One of the best videos I’ve seen produced on RUclips for any automotive repair! That you’re working on a ZJ makes it even better! Your rig looks great BTW. What lift did you use? That’s my next move on my ‘97.
Its a front to rear spring swap with BDS front coils for about 3.5 inches
I like your videos. Good info and helpful. Keep up good work..
Thank you so much. All the other videos are for wranglers
awesome, I definitely feel more confident doing this myself now!
Another great video.

@@barricadegarage5361 Wow, that's a fast reply! Thanks so much that really helped
clean work!
I saw you had drilled and slotted brake rotors and was wondering where you got them and what brand they were.

BARRICADE GARAGE thanks man also nice video.
Thank bro. Really helped me when I (hawnky) didn't what to do
Very nice video brotha.
Great vid :) damn you had to break out the old school manual ratchet for that one nut lol
+singlecams right lol
Your video was well done!
So I just repplaced mine with a remanufactured one from Advanced auto. I'm still having issues with the truck swaying back and forth in the lane and it's hard to drive so I'm doing the upper control arms. I did the lowers watching your vid last week of course my cam bolts did not come out nice and easy like yours so have new ones otdered. My mechanic buddy says the gear box I got is junk. How is the AC Delco I'm tired of throwing money at this damn truck!
Great! Super helpful. Thank you!
I wish you lived close, id ask for some help with this one for some cash, pizza and beer haha
BARRICADE my wheel locked turning right i stopped and to get it back straight it popped still driving?????
Thoroughly done, thank you
You said you replaced a non-variable assist line but that part number says it does have assist. What is the difference? And did you mean to use that one
Sorry I forgot to mention I had to buy a non variable assist high pressure line from advanced auto because I ordered the wrong one from rock auto. If your box isnt hydro tapped and is stock then get the non variable assist line because the variable asssist has a longer neck and wont fit right..
Heres my video focusing on the power steering lines and the correct part numbers to use
ruclips.net/video/J21TtFRANJ4/видео.html
BARRICADE GARAGE right on! I just saw that video and also ordering from Rockauto. Thank you
Ive had everything you replaced here replaced in my 97 zj limited TWICE by firestone. unfortunately the warranty is no longer, but the sloppy steering is still a problem. Anyone have any idea whats up?
Symptoms within the first minute! 10/10 fuck yeah
Thanks for this video. Is it recommended to change pitman with pump or why would u change pitman arm? Thanks
Hey Barricade, great video as always. One thing however seems unclear to me; at 2:50 you mention removing the steering lines with an 18mm crows foot wrench but this step is never shown. Are you simply taking them off the old gear box and attaching them to the new one before mounting it at 4:50?
Yes all im doing is taking them off the old box and putting them on the new box .. Heres my quick power steering line replacement video if intetested
ruclips.net/video/J21TtFRANJ4/видео.html
Can the pitman arm stay if only the steering box will be replaced?
Even if I didn’t have a ZJ I’d watch you wrench!!!
thanks for all great videos.do you have any experience with the pump and box with speed proportional steering 96 5.2 v8 with tow package having a issue with the steering locking up not good thank you
My Jeep has the tow package but didnt come with SPV and I dont know too much about that so I cant help you out on that issue
Hi Barracade,
Great videos ! Keep it up!
What is the parts number for the AC Delco box?.
Thanks
Straight to the point 👍👍👍👍
Excellent video!
How about transmission fluid leaking from the Bell Housing fix?
An older Jeep that has tight steering?? I wouldn't know what to do.
How do you make sure everything is lined up correctly with the pitman arm?
