What does 'manual steering gear box' mean for my Jeep Cherokee?

A manual steering gear box does not have power assist from a hydraulic pump. This means you will use more physical effort to turn the steering wheel, especially at low speeds or when stopped. It's a direct replacement for Jeeps originally equipped with manual steering.

Does this steering gear box come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This steering gear box is designed as a direct fit replacement and typically includes the gear box itself. However, it's always recommended to check the product details or consult with a technician to confirm if any additional mounting hardware or seals are needed for your specific installation.

What is covered under the limited 5-year warranty?

The limited 5-year warranty from Omix generally covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It's advisable to review the specific warranty documentation provided with the product for full details on coverage, limitations, and the claims process.
