I have a 2000 XJ and I need a steering gear box adapter part # 52000090 ...... the only source I can find is the Dealer and a few online from $165 to $188 that is crazy does anyone know where this could be bought for less?

Also I have found out that nobody knows what I am talking about when I am calling around is this part not on all XJ's?????
It is made out of alm I have been told that some aftermarket Co. makes it out of steel (I would prefer that)

I FOUND IT http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJMISC/XJSTSPC.html $49.00


Here is link with a picture it is the triangle.

Long link but there's several companies that make an upgrades steering box spacer. I made my own. Definitely better than that stock pos aluminum thing in there.

Let me the only guy on the interweb that will post where to get the steel adapter instead of saying in their post "that someone makes it"

Because I didn't post a link... ? Lol.

onebadmofo

No.... on my Google search I have read many post referring to the steel adapter without telling the OP where to get them so I thought I would do my part for the next guy in need.

DieselD

Gotcha.

Does it really matter if it's broke on the connector webs? It is just a spacer after all. It gets sandwiched when you torque the gear box down.

Steve,

I wish I'd seen this before I ordered but thanks......mine should be next weds or thurs.

No, the webs are just there to make installation easier.

Replacing it with a steel spacer helps to strengthen the front "frame" horn, ideally it should also be sandwiched with an outer plate as well.
C-ROK sells the complete kit for that.
