Hydro-Assist Steering




Now that the steering is done, it's time to mount the ram-assist. I purchased a new pump, box,reservoir and hydraulic ram from Lee Manufacturing in Sun Valley, CA. The ram is 1.5x8" and has a 5/8" shaft. I also purchased a smaller pulley for the pump from Kilby Enterprises. Hoses, -AN fittings and the cooler came from Summit Racing.

Lee also makes some nifty right-angle adapters for the metric fittings on the TJ's steering box.


The pump and reservoir:


I had to make a bracket to hold the reservior. I used existing bolts on the fender.
