Heres the deal. My buddy has a 87 wrangler. Recently having hard steering. We replaced the steering box and the power steering pump (2x) with no change. We are thinking maybe a collapsed ps line or bad steering shaft. Any thoughts ?

I would have spend the $35 on lines before everything else. Esp since they gotta come off to replace all you've already replaced. Hell, if I were doing a box and pump I'd do new lines just because.

Give us a bit more info. Is it lifted? Bigger tires?

Not my jeep so i dont make the calls ya know what i mean. 6" lift and 35" tires. I thought it may have to do with his steering geometry. But i talked him into buying the lines anyway.everything else is new

Get a pic of the front. Post it up.

It could very well be something in the construction. Could also be the 35s.
