Product Details

Cardone Steering Gear line products are designed using reverse-engineering experience to address original design weaknesses in steering components. The 97-6534GB uses hardened, ground, and polished rotating and actuating parts to support long service life, while load testing and spool valve balancing help maintain predictable steering response. This unit is a direct-fit steering gear for Jeep CJ7, Jeep Scrambler, and Jeep CJ5 models listed below, and it cross-references Jeep 5363231 for the same application.

What This Steering Gear Helps Solve

  • Excessive steering play or loose steering wheel feel
  • Uneven or inconsistent steering return after turns
