What I did was I ordered a used gearbox from ebay and when it was delivered I disassembled the pitman section of the gearbox and removed the seals and bearings. I then ordered the new seals and bearings and when they arrived I rebuilt the used steering gearbox, installed it in my WJ, and then returned my purchased gearbox for a full refund. I haven't had a problem with the shifting in the front end since. I also re-adjusted my caster to a lower setting so that I wouldn't have the death wobble re-occur. So, if anyone is having this problem in their WJ, tell them to check for loose components and also check to make sure that there is no lateral movement in their steering gearbox.

Love this. So besides the spacer did you have to do anything else for alignment issues. No problems with stock trac bar or extended brake lines.
