Questions: I have a early1955 CJ5 serial #57548 10040. I don’t think it has the correct size steering box. The sector shaft is 15/16” the steering tube /worm gear is 41 1/2” long. Box #TL122995. I also have another steering box #T122983 with 7/8 sector shaft but the steering tube/worm gear is only 38” long. Which one would be the correct one to rebuild.

Questions: My 63 JC3B is going to receive the kit# 805123. It has an upper wobble in the sector shaft & some play in the steering wheel at the center/straight wheel position. If the replacement kit does not remove this wobble would a "Tightsteer" kit #T161000, remove it?
Thank you.
Question By: PLThomas on Dec 12 2017 9:21 PM
This kit really should take care of the issue. I would also make sure you properly shim your gear box and see part number: 646084. The tightsteer kit would do the rest if your still having any issues.

Answer By: Willys Jeep Parts Tech on Oct 10 2017 5:53 AM
Questions: I recently purchased the steering gear box sector shaft repair kit and have a couple of questions that maybe you can help me out with. The old bushing came out fairly easy, but, the new bushing just fell right in and the shaft was a pretty tight fit, shouldn't that be the other way around. I'm afraid that the shaft and bushing will rotate inside the gearing box. I would think the shaft should rotate in the bushing to save wear on the housing. Also with the cover off and turning the wheel back and forth, the sector shaft will move and cause the nipples to come free from the worm gear. With the cover on it keeps the sector shaft from moving back and forth. I assume that is how it is supposed to work, but, worry that would put a lot of pressure on the steering box cover, is that a concern? Should there be a bushing on the outside of the steering box on the sector shaft and pitman arm to eliminate this lateral movement?
Question By: Randy on Sep 14 2017 9:22 PM
Please call and ask for Mike M. I can help you trouble shoot and ID your gear box.

Questions: Hi, I have a doubt, my jeep is a Kaiser Willys CJ-5 1964 serial number 8305 164072 has a problem with slop. I don´t know what diameter sector shaft (7/8" or 15/16") cus´ both item 805123 and 938194KA mark to CJ-5 1964
Question By: litz on Apr 19 2017 1:12 AM
In 1965 you could have either. Typically if you have the 4-134 F engine its a 7/8" and if the V6225 they used the 15/16" sector. Its best to measure.

Questions: I have a MB chassis and I removed the steering box. I got the M38 worm gear from you folks. but it doesn't match with the pins on the sector shaft.
So I looked the Ross part numbers

the sector shaft is TA124977 (which is 29/32 and the pins are 1.5 inches appear)
The worm gear I have is TA 123001 (which appears to be a light truck)
I want to what parts I need to make this work again

Questions: I ordered and received part 805123 for steering gear box. It did not come with "sector Shaft oil seal" per the video or with either of the two worm gear ball bearings and race.
do I need to order part 646084? does this include one or ball bearings and races?
Part 805123 came with an ignition switch and keys? Why???
Question By: Daniel Baldwin on Aug 8 2016 12:32 AM
You should have gotten the oil seal with it. The 646084 is a separate item. Please call us toll free and we can help.
Answer By: Willys Jeep Parts Tech on Aug 8 2016 5:38 AM
Questions: Does the steering gear box have to come off the frame to be able to replace just the sector shaft? I had the nipples shear on the shaft working it in heavy snow on a rough trail. Fender is off, pitman arm is off, gear box cover is off. What stops sector shaft from coming straight out and replacement going right back in? Anything I'm not seeing?
Question By: Clay on Mar 5 2015 12:00 AM
You can probabaly take the fender off and then be able to slide the sector shaft out for extra clearance.
Answer By: Willys Tech on Mar 6 2015 12:00 AM
Questions: Does this kit (Steering Gear Box Sector Shaft Repair Kit 7/8) fit the M-38 Military Jeep? Above you indicate that it fits 41-66 MB models. However, according to my information production was stopped on the MB models in 1945 or 1946. The next Military model was the M-38. I am restoring an M-38. The steering box has too much play and needs overhauling. Do I need this kit for the M-38?
Question By: Martin Suber on Jan 1 1970 12:00 AM
Please see above for individual vehicle year listings. The kit for the M38 is part number: 804533K

Questions: When I am driving my willys cj-2a, I steer and it makes a sort of clicking noise and occasionally locks up. Does my steering gear box just need lubrication, or does it need replacement parts. If that is the case, what parts? Thanks!
Question By: Morgan on Sep 24 2013 12:00 AM
Sounds like you need to go thru your steering and see what is going on. I wouldnt drive it again untill you do. I would check your gear box, tie rods, bellcrank, king pins, ect...

Questions: I see the cut off year is 66 for CJ-5. Is it possible that it will work with a 67 CJ-5?
Question By: Joe on Apr 24 2013 12:00 AM
Yes sometimes if you still have the 4-134 engine. Its always good to measure after 1966. Before then it is always 7/8 after it could be either.

Questions: I need to replace the sector shaft from my Ross steering box. I have it completely disassembled and would appreciate if you could clarify the part number for me. On the sector shaft the number T124989 is stamped, is this the same as your 805123? How do I determine amount of shim required during installation?
Question By: phil on Dec 23 2010 12:00 AM
As long as its one of the vehicles specified it is the right kit. The shim should be set so that the worm gear has some drag but does not grind on the ball bearings. Please call me toll free. Im more than happy to help.
