Default Steering box help

The steering box on my 97 xj is held on by 3 bolts if I just connect 2 bolts Would that be okay ? It will also have a pitman arm brace to help out

No, the bolts breaking is a known weakness, was subject to a recall.

I have seen XJ with broken steering box bolts, on the side of the road.

Using just two would be asking for trouble
