Jeep Repair: steering and handling, tie rod ends, steering stabilizers


Question
1985 CJ 7; Having problems withsteering having
play.Replaced steering box,no power steering.No play or wear in tie rod ends or other steering components,any ideas?  

Answer
Could be a cracked frame, quite common with CJ's.  Another possibility could be loose wheel bearings, improper tire inflation.
They make steering stabilizers, if your's does not have one, I would suggest installing one along with a steering box reinforcing kit.
