Steering box protection off-road
The steering box sits low and forward on many Jeeps, where rocks, logs and ledges can strike it. A skid plate spreads an impact across a wider area so the housing is less likely to be dented or cracked. It does not make the steering box immune to damage, so slow down over rough sections and avoid driving the box into obstacles.
Check the skid and its mounts after each trail outing. Look for cracks at the welds, bent edges, loose fasteners and paint chips that can start rust. Steering components also deserve a look, since a damaged box or linkage affects control. Re-torque the mounting hardware after the first few trail runs.
- Inspect welds and edges after rock-heavy trails
- Re-check mounting hardware after the first few runs
- Touch up paint chips to slow corrosion
- Look for signs of steering play or leaks after impacts
