How to Center The Steering Box and Steering wheel on a Jeep CJ

- Before you attempt to center your steering wheel or align your Jeep CJ, please watch this video. Does your vehicle turn sharper in one direction? Is your steering wheel off when you are driving straight down the road? You may have major issues upstream of your actual steering tie-rod and draglink! It is common for the steering wheel and Steering box to become "out of alignment" over years of upgrades, fixes, and maintenance. This video should give you a good idea of where to start!

Just what I was looking for.. tired of my YJ steering wheel being off..
Thanks for the video. My left turning radius was terrible. Sure enough, the gearbox needed to be centered.
Very much appreciated
thanks for this!!!
Excellent video, thanks for posting. I’m nearing the end of my CJ7 restoration and was wondering how to do this.
Jeep CJ 101
OG ! Back to the basics!
Thank you frens…
Thank you!
done learnt today! thanks brother
What we are here for! 😎 Thank you!
I have that exact problem currently. However, I think my steering gear is worn out since the Jeep lane drifts and the steering wheel free spins in turns. It's a butt clincher when you have a whole revolution until the steering reacts.
Nice! Thanks!
Awesome!
Great Video! Would you be able to adjust the steering shaft at the u-joint the same way with a factory style steering shaft Vs. the aftermarket?
Good video but very confusing.. I've tried this method on my YJ after replacing all the ball joints and still by adjusting the drag link I could not get the same number of turns on both sides and the steering wheel middle spoke to be in the centered when the wheels were straight...My jeep came with a 6" lift and its steering wheel has never been aligned...
Should be included in the job it can be a lot of money and time to fix an also before you take it apart use a paint marker and maker it's location 😎
What are those front leaf spring shackles about? Never seen ones like that
This is a great video, I just replaced the power steering box in my 1983 CJ7... however I don't have an aftermarket shaft like this. I honestly have no idea how to get the wheel straight after making sure the steering is centered in the box. Both ends have a groove/bolt on the steering shaft, so I can't just remove it and move it on the splines. Any tips? Or do I just have to deal with crooked steering wheel when box is centered ( i'm talking before I touch the pitman arm its disconnected )
I am in this same boat. To disconnect my shaft, I have to drop the column. There has to be a better way.
Does this mess with canceling turn signals?
that's a factory auto in a cj5 is'nt that rare
As far as I know the CJ5 was never sold with an automatic transmission because the rear driveshaft would be too short. That’s why they made the CJ7. The extra 10” of the CJ7 gave them the room they needed for proper driveshaft angles and added length of the automatic transmission.
Man hope this works on my 90 4runner put a new box in it rebuilt the FRONT END COMPLETELY everything! DID NOT center my box so it wont hit the STOPS on the right side off about 1 1/2 inch turn left hits the Stops!!!!
That was it !! It turns like FACTORY thanks WFO
