Xtera steering box help

[66 Bronco Dave]

Using the xtera box on my 66. I ordered some fittings to convert to an-6. I got the 16x1.5 and 18x1.5 Inverted. The 16-1.5 goes in not to snug till I hit bottom. was wondering if maybe I have the wrong fitting. i have herd I think on one of somebody’s posts that it was a 3/8” inverted. The box came from 2001 xterra. Thanks guys

What year Xterra box? There were 2 different ones used.
The early one was made in Japan by Toyo-something. The later one was made by Delphi.

The Delphi one uses inverted flare fittings
The Toyo one uses banjo fittings.

I want to say the change happened halfway through the 2001 model year.

Sorry to jump in your thread but I know where a 2005 x Terra steering gear box is and wondering if you know if it will fit my 69 bronco ? Thanks

It works on mine. Just need to work out the correct fittings. I had to oblong one of my frame mounting holes and I put a plate on inside of frame just to beef it up.

Do you change pitman arms or does xterra work?

Looks like a good job . What about steering hook up.

Some guys ream out the Nissan pit arm some get the center sector out of a jeep grand Cherokee and stock bronco pit arm bolts right on. I did the jeep shaft swap. It’s pretty easy. There are a couple of good threads out here to walk you through it.

I used the Borgeson telescoping shaft from one of the vendors. I think it’s a 31 spline double d style. Cut my shaft ground it down and it fit perfectly.

Will not work. Only the 1st get Xterra has a steering box that can be swapped. '00-'04
The 2nd gen, '05-'15, is a rack and pinion.
