Crash Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Im new to this fourm and starting a solid axle swap on my truck. Found a set of dana 44 matched front and rear out of a 86 wagoneer wondering what i need to do to make the steering work? Take the whole steering box from the waggy and fabricate to fit my frame or is there a more simple way of doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You can use the stock pathfinder steering box. No worries. Been running mine for 8 years on 38's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABCAB Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 My 97 D21 Hardbody got its SFA last year to a C200 MQ Patrol axle. I think the Pathy steering box setup is the same as mine. I simply fabricated the standard tierod ends from the Hardbody to a steering link from the steering box to a custom bracket on the kingpin housing. I did however cut and change the angle of my standard steering pitman arm. But this was due to a SOA that gave me a 7" lift. Not sure if this helps as we never had that Pathfinder in our country and how similar our setups are. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
