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 !
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
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.
Easy video short and straight to the point. No cringy bullshit, just the answers we’re lookin for and all the info nobody thinks to ask. Torque specs etc. please stay this way, and thank you. 🍻
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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
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.
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. ;)
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
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.
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.
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, 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
Man, another awesome video as usual. Whenever I need to do something on my ZJ, the first thing I do is check for one of your videos. Question - the only thing that I think I have a question about that I think I missed in the video is how to make sure that the travel is centered - I guess the "position" of the gear coming out of the box doesn't matter, as long as you put the pitman arm on in the correct orientation? Am I correct in assuming it's the position of the arm on the box that controls the travel? And it looks like it's keyed to only on on in one orientation? (Also, unless your pitman arm is worn out, I assume there's no real benefit to a new arm?) Thanks again, man!
I love backyard mechanic videos I got to replace the entire system on my jeep and this video should help me very well thank you Also my steering wheel does fhe same thing yours is doing Do you know if it could be track bar problems or for sure gear box? I guess I'll find out by having someone shake it while looking at it
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

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.

+singlecams right lol
Thank you so much. All the other videos are for wranglers
Love your videos... you make it look so easy and how do you get your camera in those tight spaces so well lol

Thanks again, man!
great instructional video,please may i suggest you include new part numbers used in future videos as i feel this would be most helpful
Symptoms within the first minute! 10/10 fuck yeah
Even if I didn’t have a ZJ I’d watch you wrench!!!
Just what I need
I wish you lived close, id ask for some help with this one for some cash, pizza and beer haha
Thank bro 🙏
Thanks again
Please do plenum intake replacement
Hi Barracade,
Great videos ! Keep it up!
What is the parts number for the AC Delco box?.
Thanks
I love backyard mechanic videos
I got to replace the entire system on my jeep and this video should help me very well thank you
Also my steering wheel does fhe same thing yours is doing
Do you know if it could be track bar problems or for sure gear box?
I guess I'll find out by having someone shake it while looking at it
My 93 leaks power steering fluid but every vehicle I ever owned leaked it badly. Even my grandmothers 98 ZJ leaks it.
Where did you buy the box from? Thanks for som very nice vids!
