I assume you are replacing the steering box and pitman arm. If so, weld the pitman to the steering shaft. If you don't have a welder, Loosen the pitman arm and drive some nails in between the pitman and the steering shaft then clamp it down tight. Alternatley, you can drill a 1/4 inch hole through the pitman/steering shaft assembly and put a bolt in it.
And then there is the safest way... AAA![CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]Resistance Off Road

I got a steering box that I just took off a TJ its worn but the splines on the shafts are good will get you by for awhile you can have it. It's in Ontario though. Welding it might work or slicing it open some more and clamping it down. It has a flat on the shaft so it has to be seriously messed up to spin on itComment
