If you're going to have the box rebuilt, tell the bloke doing the work that you're going to run more pressure through it.
The other thing to consider (always more things!) are the steering links/ends.. Factory XJ TR ends and tie rod/draglink are pretty weak, so it might pay to beef them up too. On an XJ I'd consider beefing up the steering box mounts (known to crack). The sector shaft on the box will be under more pressure (or actually you'll be able to put more pressure on it) with the new pump, so take it easy on full lock..
Or, you could replace the stock pump  |
I'm upgrading to a large B&M auto cooler with thermo that will be more than capable without the stock external cooler so i was thinking i'll use the stocko instead of trying to find room for another cooler for the steering in the already cramped engine bay. That or the psc heat sink coolers look the goods.
Heavy duty tie rod and ends is going on with the bigger lift next week, larger tie rod ends for the draglink are ordered and on there way, they will be fitted at the same time.
So only thing to upgrade that isn't already in motion is the stock draglink and bracing the mounts.
You've got hydro assist on your tj? if i read your forsale ad properly. What did you do for a heavy duty draglink?
Thanks for the info carvs, handy stuff as always
