Steering Gear Fits all 1977 – 1979 Jeep CJS. This gear has a large (13/16?) input shaft and 4 mounting holes cast into the house. Please note that only three of the four holes might be used to actually secure this gear to the frame. This gear is the 18:1 ratio gear, 4 to 4.5 turns lock to lock. If your gear is a Manual Steering Gear then you need to order the PCJ-7104. This gearbox allows you to retain the factory steering shaft, as well as the stock pitman arm. This is a major advantage especially those with lifted trucks with dropped pitman arms, you will not have to change your pitman arm.
