Good Morning Guys, A friend of mine just bought a 1947 cj2a. It has had the engine replaced with a 6 cylinder larger axels and a chevy steering column. I have no other details as of yet. The question is this. He has to turn the steering wheel several times around to bring the wheels to a complete turn. He could use a few hints as to what to look for...Thanks John <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Maybe he should look for a complete power steering unit in the Junk Yard? If the same ratio was in both powered and unpowered it would take us both to steer them things.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Big Jim <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Yup, in a good setup, the tiniest move of the steering wheel will turn the pitman arm a small amount as well.
