    I have a 76 CJ 5 that I am having steering/handling issues with. A few years ago I installed a drop pitman arm and that helped tremendously with the bump steer, but now it’s gotten back to steering fairly violent again. It’s not my daily driver but I would like to get to where it would handle a lot safer so I can drive it on the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My 76 had similar steering issues, I did the full meal deal , steering column, tie rods , tie rod ends all helped. Finally I added a steering damper which helped quite a bit. My last option is changing out the steering box..
