Worked great on my 74 CJ5
Questions
The fitment depends on the input shaft spline count and diameter. Here is the breakdown of why they are compatible:
1. The Specs Match
Borgeson 000904 Lower Joint: This shaft is specifically designed with a 13/16"–36 spline lower universal joint.
Redhead/Saginaw Power Gear Box: The standard power steering gearbox for 1972–1975 CJs (the Saginaw 800 series) uses a 13/16" diameter input shaft with 36 splines. Redhead builds their boxes to these factory specifications unless you specifically requested a custom configuration (like a later-model metric swap).
2. Physical Dimensions
Length: The 000904 is a telescopic shaft with a collapsed length of 33.5" and an extended length of 39.5". This range is designed to accommodate the frame-to-body flex common in early CJs, which often causes the factory "bell" coupling to fail or bind.
Column Side: The upper joint on the 000904 is a 3/4"–36 spline, which matches the factory steering column found in '72–'75 Jeeps.
