Default sterring box question!

I'm curious to know, if anyone would possibly know if a steering box from a jeep TJ would work in a 98 cherokee classic... 4wd

Dunno, but I'll bet you could look up the part number for both of them online, and see if they happen to be the same part number.

I looked at the pictures for an 06 TJ on rockauto. An 01 might be different.

I found out the steering boxes from the TJ and the cherokees are interchangeable certain years anyway...so with that being said i will be able to use the steering box out of the TJ
