Hi I have a 98 xj and the steering box is leaking steering fluid from where the pitman arm attaches. I'm wondering if the steering box is basically the same for the pre 97 xj's, as it will be easier to get one at the local junkyard.

you could upgrade? but theyre expensive! jeeps are notorious for crappy steering boxes, expecially increased tire size'd rigs!

Yes they are the same. If you look on the top of the box you will see a part # cast into the housing. The one on my 97 tj matched that of an 89 xj.
