Xterra steering box conversion

[SLC]

To all of you guys that have done the Xterra steering swap . Can you just re clock the pitman arm to get more left turning radius or do you have to do the 2000 jeep sector replacement ? Just checking before I hit the junkyard again. Thanks again in advance.

i started with a cut and splice of the drag link before converting to heim

Thanks for the info , that’s probably the way I’m going to go.

Any idea how much you had to cut off the drag link to use the heim joint to make it work properly?

I cut and spliced stock tie rod ends.
Then later I had a full heim joint steering that put the drag link onto the passenger knuckle.
Never put a heim on the stock drag link.
