Application
This steering column assembly is intended for vehicles with Ross steering system. The steering column connects the steering wheel to the steering box and forms the housing for the steering tube with worm gear mechanism.
Installation notes
Installation requires removal of the steering wheel with a suitable puller. Note: fit the lower clamp before assembly. During refitting, the three bolts of the steering box can be slightly loosened for flexibility during alignment. Avoid forced positions that create tension on the steering column.
Compatibility
Suitable for vehicles with Ross-type steering box. The outer column tube has an outer diameter of approximately 1.28 inches. Verify that your vehicle is equipped with a steering column with upper bearing (located directly beneath the steering wheel) and lower mounting brackets.
Historical context
The steering column assembly with integrated bearing was standard on military jeeps with Ross steering boxes. The upper bearing supports the worm gear directly beneath the steering wheel and must always be replaced during steering system overhaul.
