Ross Steering Worm Gear Shaft


 

I'm rebuilding the Ross steering in my 1948 CJ2A.? So far I've managed to get all of the parts (sector shaft, bushings, bearings, etc.) I need except the 40-1/2" worm gear steering shaft.? Walck's hasn't had this shaft for months, Kaiser Willys sent one that, simply stated, didn't work properly (long story).? KW is accepting the return with full refund.? Peter DeBella and Ron Fitzpatrick also do not have the shaft.? Neither have any idea when it will be available.

I'll put the old shaft back in and live with loose steering unless I can locate a vendor who has a new one.? Who should I contact next??


 

Try the Jeepster Man.

FWIW, Mark and John are excellent to deal with.
