      Description

      Steering Authority. Engineered for 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door models, the Red Head Steering Gears HD Replacement Steering Gear Box restores precise on-center feel and durable control where it matters most. This heavy-duty unit addresses common play and deflection issues with upgraded internals and housing strength, making it a smart reliability and performance upgrade for daily driving, towing, and trail use.

      Construction and Appearance. A heavy-duty thick cast housing anchors the assembly, finished in matte black with glossy red accents for a clean, performance-forward look. Internally, a larger-diameter-than-stock sector shaft helps prevent flexing under steering loads, while a large valve with a sturdy torsion element resists becoming unbalanced for consistent assist and feedback. Dual top cover seals add redundancy against leaks, and the 35-pound build underscores robust material density and rigidity to maintain alignment under heat and vibration.

      Installation. Designed as an OE compatible and comparable direct replacement, the box bolts into factory locations for a straightforward, versatile installation using common tools. Transfer the pitman arm with an appropriate puller, align the sector shaft index, and torque fasteners to spec. Bleed the power steering system thoroughly—cycling lock-to-lock—to purge air and achieve quiet, consistent assist. Note that this product has a $400 core charge; retain and return your original gear to recoup the core per supplier policy.

      Application. This Red Head Steering Gears HD Replacement Steering Gear Box fits 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door models. By reinforcing the housing and key internals, it sharpens on-center stability, reduces wander, and delivers sturdier steering feedback over rough surfaces for a more confident, composed drive.
