Just a FYI for anyone in the market. The IRO OTK kit is amazing. Took 2 hours to install and drives great.

Just wanted to share, I was worried at first.. haha

Sweet thanks for sharing! Does it feel any different?

Oh yeah, it is much firmer than stock, although my stock system was failing fast.. The install is fast and simple as well. I just drove it over 100 miles out route 4 East in CA on its first drive since the lift and steering and everything worked great. Props to IRO!

I've got a 98 ZJ 5.2. When I'm in driving in slowly to turn into a parking spot, my power steering cuts out and it's a ***** to turn all of a sudden. A lot of the time it "shimmies" like a lights on/lights off power steering assist.

I bought this Jeep a few months ago, so I have no history on it. The power steering fluid is full though and appears to be clean.

Been thinking of a power steering flush, but if that doesn't fix it I'm not sure what I'll have to have a shop rip into or even how much it'll cost.

I'm not offroading it yet, but I figured if I have to buy a replacement why not upgrade.

Yep, if your replacing, upgrade it. The V8 steering is pretty beefy already in the ZJ but the 1 ton kits are the way to go IMO. I did this kit myself and aligned it in my driveway in about 2 hours. God only knows what a shop would charge just to install a stock set up again.

I rand the IRO setup on my old XJ and it's a planed upgrade to my ZJ as well..
