When I first got this XJ, it had the original steering gear in it. I first bought a remanufactured box from Rockauto, but the pitman arm shaft seal leaked terribly and it had just as much play in it as the original. I then replaced the replacement with a 1999 Dodge Durango Steering Gear, and although it didn't leak it had the same amount of play in it. Finally, after listening to everyone tell me it was the track bar for 2 years, the Jeep finally drives straight down the road, the steering returns to the center after turning, there's no dead zone in it, it's much lighter, and I now know I need to replace the power steering pump.
