Cj7 front axle and steering

[saspeir]

My cj7 has a dana 44 front axle. When you change axles how much front steering parts do you have to change out? Wanting to install dual steering stabilizers but didn't know if previous owner had to change out the steering as well to match up with the different axle! ??

Depends on whether the axles were the same width. Out of curiosity why are you putting on dual stabilizers? I don't even run one and can't tell the difference. If your steering is good you don't need them. All they do is make things a little softer.

I am running with one right now and still have a lot of play. But looking at it today I think my problem is mechanical. Looks like my steering column shaft and lower coupling is where all my play is. So I am going to replace it first and see if it helps.
