Installation notes
For installation: first loosen the side cover adjustment screw to release the pins in the cam groove. Unscrew the upper cover, remove or add shims until correct adjustment. Adjustment is correct when slight resistance is felt, but the steering wheel still turns smoothly with thumb and forefinger on the rim. Refer to original service manuals for detailed procedure.
Compatibility
Please note: this is NOT suitable for the later Ross steering boxes from 1967-1971. Only for earlier cam-and-lever Ross steering boxes as used in early Jeep models.
Historical context
The Ross cam-and-lever steering system was widespread in military and civilian Jeeps from the 1940s onwards. The shim adjustment set was part of the standard maintenance arsenal of every Jeep mechanic of that period.
