In this video I will show you how to replace and upgrade the whole steering system with a Jeep ZJ V8 HD Steering on your Jeeps front axle. This process is very similar to other vehicle models but today I will show you how to do it on a Jeep Cherokee XJ with a Dana 30 Axle. This process may be similar on other Jeep axles such as the Dana 44 and Jeep models such as the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and Comanche. I will show you how to do the whole job from start to finish. If you have any questions that the video does not cover make sure to leave them below.

Just completed this upgrade on my 2001 XJ. Excellent, easy to follow, definitely easy to make adjustments now. Total parts were about $215. No one source had everything needed. I know I'm at least 10 of the views listed. (slow learner ;-)

@bombdiggitydave3881 2 жыл бұрын

Austin. Its important to note that, I dont think putting the weight of the entire motor, trans, and front end should be placed on the lower control arms bolts alone? Honestly that is a lot of weight, about 1800 lbs. front end/ rear end or approx. 900lbs. at each LCA bolt even though double shear? GVW is approx. 3500lbs. The FSM suggests using jacks under the axle or the subframe. If I am incorrect, please correct me. Other than that, awesome steering upgrade. I really do appreciate all your XJ / ZJ repair and upgrade videos 👍

@OutJeeping 2 жыл бұрын

I could understand your concern on those bolts. There are other places I could have placed the jack stands but the semicircular end on the jack stands fit pretty good under the front control arm bushings sleeves in the control arm. Looking up the shear stress of a M14 grade 12.9 bolt comes out to 9,600 lbs. The bolt is under a double shear load in the control arm bracket, so you could double that weight to to 19,200 lbs. And being 2 bolts it's resting on, there would need to be a weight greater than 38,400 lbs from the Jeep before those bolts will shear. So I'd say those bolts shouldn't be a concern.

Hi Austin I have the same year 99 XJ with 4.5 lift 33x12.50r15. I'm still running stock steering. I was looking into this as well as other hd or 1 ton steering setups, but they all seem to have different requirements and everyone has something bad to say about all of them lol. What are your thoughts on this upgrade? Works good or better than stock? Any issues? Clearance issues? Good for trailing? I won't be doing anything hardcore, but will be on the trail. Thanks!

@OutJeeping 2 жыл бұрын

I like this upgrade because the simplicity of installing since it is all off the self parts. It won't be as strong as one ton steering, but as long as you are not constantly bashing into rocks it should be good, defiantly a stronger tierod than stock. If you want to go with a one ton setup, I would recommend the ball joint grease boot style tie rod end kits. I would stay away from heim joint kits, I've ran them in the past and they dry out, squeak, and wear faster, a lot more of a pita to maintain.

Then in 1999 the WJ had a change with different knuckles to accommodate the 2 piston brake calipers. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong? I hope this info helps you!

I installed a 4” lift on my Grand Wagoneer. Now when I steer full right the wheels turn too sharp, but when I turn full left the wheels barely turn. What’s funny is I still turn the steering wheel 2.5 turns from center both ways. Is the drag link or any other part of the steering too short now? Thanks.

@OutJeeping 3 жыл бұрын

The drag link is most likely too short or too long. If the tie rods connect on the front of the knuckle it would be too short and if they attached behind the knuckle behind the ball joints it would be too long. I would adjust the drag link because it is most likely one Revolution off.

@francisbrackney2061 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it certainly sounds like the the drag link is too short for the amount of lift you have. I would say that you either need a longer drag link, or a drop / longer Pittman arm on your steering gear box.

@shaneparton7699 3 жыл бұрын

It could be that one of the ends of the rods isn't quite bolted down all the way and has some play for a tie rod end to move up and down as you're turning the wheels. Happened to me when I put a lift kit on my XJ and noticed a similar noise every time I'd turn the wheel at a very specific point. I thought I had tightened everything down as much as it would allow for the castle nuts. But I was mistaken. I had someone move the steering wheel while I was underneath looking at the tie rod ends. I noticed one was shifting up & down on my passenger side. I made sure the tie rod end was fully seated in to the knuckle on the passenger wheel, tightened up the castle nut a few more turns, and no more popping or clunking noise.

@@toddrhine7648 If you buy a tie rod from rock auto that is for a 93-98 ZJ that is specifically for a V8, i.e.5.2 or 5.9, then it will be a bigger diameter and will, as a result be stronger. Also, the smaller inline 6 tie rod is hollow, where as the tie rod for the V8 equipped ZJs is a solid metal tie rod and has larger, beefier tie rod ball joints but will still FIT the steering knuckles FOR BOTH ENGINES, as they are the same for both the V8 and I6 with the Dana 30 front axle as far as I know and have looked up in the FSM.
