Great advice! Thanks!

If you haven't had the cover off the steering box to see the condition of the worm, guide pins and bushings/bearings now is the time to do it. Remove the steering wheel, remo ...

Thanks Wes. Appreciate the explanation of the steering mechanism centering. Yes, the problem has been the radius difference, which is almost nil, but not fully symmetrical, after the tie rod arm chan ...

Wes, I tried method 3 without luck, was contemplating method 2. Then my buddy noticed that the right tie rod was run almost all the way in, and the left tie rod was run almost all the way out. So we r ...

I had a CJ bellcrank, shimmed pin and civvy drag link. New bellcrank and drag link installed. Now I need to re-index the pitman arm to reset the turning radius for full travel. Any shade tree methods ...

Thanks gents. I'll do more checking and measuring.

It appears my steering bell crank pin is NOT broken, just pulled out. What I think I have is an M38 7/8 pin bolt bracket on the frame with a shimmed 3/4 inch bell crank down ball system from a CJ2A.
...

The pin on my M38 failed above the steering bell crank. The bell crank is cast with #640184 W012C. I got a repair kit, but it appears to be for the later bell crank (?) with a larger diameter pin and ...

Sure enough, bolting on a new rear prop shaft solved the problem.

Man was it ever getting sloppy at the splines. The Replacement shaft seems beefier. I hope it holds up better.

A race car set up ...

Unhappy to report that my exhaust popped apart at the manifold attach flange. My system was a shop welded, shop bent cobbled mess. I bought a complete new correct system from John in Minnesota. I use ...

Thanks guys. I'll get it up off the ground and see what I can with it running. It's quite a rattle with the clutch in, and buzzes the entire jeep with the clutch out and between accelerating and decel ...

Update: the buzz was in fact coming from the splines in the rear prop shaft. The wobble there was getting pretty bad. Bought a NOS shaft complete and bolted it on. Now the drive train is buttery smoot ...

Also, don't forget the engineering data (probably lost to history) that came out of the CJ V-35 jeep production and other M38 XM38 jeeps that have also been forgotten.

There are at least 2 or 3 oth ...

Ah, so I think I'm talking about the retaining ring. Good source for those rings out there?

Are those trim rings supposed to be "chrome"? One of mine is showing a lot of rust. Any replacement ideas for chromed? Seems like I should clean 'em up and paint them OD.

Thanks Wes. That's what I was expecting to see. Appreciate the detailed difference.

It wouldn't be that tough to drill up the frame bracket and put in the larger bolts. Wonder if that's what happe ...
