And JK stock wheel offsets won't work without spacers on an XJ IIRC anyways.

So what's the point again? Lot of work for no gain IMO. And JK parts are more expensive also.

Not really no. My OEM box blew the output shaft seal.

Gotta check to see where the motion is happening...if it's not internal to the box or the sector shaft bearing, then replacing the steering gear won't do anything to fix the play in the steering.

Every single component of my steering is new and the zj still handles kinda crappie. But it is an old jeep.

I think I just need to push the axle fwd a little.

The buttons can ice up/rust/something. Some of mine were stuck, and one broke when I got them all moving freely
