RedHead Steering Gear Boxes have been providing some of the top remanufactured steering gear boxes in the automotive industry for over the last 35+ years. Replacing your steering gear box can offer benefits such as improved steering responsiveness, enhanced safety, and reduced steering effort.

This Steering Gear Box is available in 3 or 4 Turn option and fits: 

  • 1971-1976 Wagoneer
  • 1974-1976 Cherokee
  • 1971-1976 J-Series Trucks

Additional Power Steering Ports Upgrade: Adding 2 additional pre-drilled power steering ports with plugs (for a total of 4) allows for (non OEM) after market hydraulic RAM assist steering setup. You will need these ports if:

1. The existing FSJ already has a hydraulic ram assist system installed.
2. You may install a hydraulic ram assist system in the future.
3. You use the vehicle for off-roading, or have tires 37 inches in diameter or larger, and need an extra assist via a hydraulic ram assist system to aid in steering assist.

Conditional Core Charge: This product requires a deposit regardless if you have a core to return or not. When you return your core you will promptly be refunded upon receipt of your original core part. Please contact us once your core is ready and we will send you a ship label for a safe core return. Please wrap your core up the same way your new box comes to you.

  1. You have 30 days post purchase to return your core for a full refund
  2. All cores returned after 30 days will be credited at 50% of the original core charge.
  3. No refund will be issued for any returns made after one year from purchase on cores or new units.

RedHead Re-Manufacturing Process:

  • Machining out the housings and installing needle bearings
  • Flame-spraying or replacing the shafts as needed
  • Installing new control valves on some applications
  • Custom fitting each worm & piston assembly with special ordered, precise over-sized ball bearings.
  • Install every sector shaft on a lathe to check for straight and true
  • Polish the sealing surface to a higher polish than new.
  • All gear boxes are sent out in center position

RedHead Steering Gear only uses the highest quality seals. All seals are either O.E.M. or produced by two high quality, long time suppliers of our industry. 
 
Probably one of the most unique and important things about RedHead Steering processes is they custom fit every single worm and piston assembly with new precision fit steel balls. This is a process not matched by any other company in the industry. This process is very important. The machining tolerances of the original manufacturing leave a small and varying amount of play that can not be corrected in any other way.

How do I purge air, or bleed, my steering gear box system?

  1. After installing the gearbox, fill the system with fluid.
  2. Raise the front wheels off the ground, DO NOT start the vehicle.
  3. Work the steering wheel back and forth, lock to lock, 15-20 times.
  4. Leave the vehicle sit (overnight is best) AT LEAST 2 hours
  5. Top the pump reservoir off again.
  6. Work the steering wheel back and forth again 7-10 times
  7. Have a person in the vehicle and another at the pump reservoir with a container of fluid & funnel ready to pour if necessary.
  8. Instruct the person in the vehicle to start the engine. As soon as this happens, if the fluid level drops, be ready to pour in more fluid. The level must be kept at an almost full level or it will suck in air again.
  9. If this procedure is followed properly, the air problem will be solved.
