Any UK Cherokee XJs sold without PS?

[Konan]

I've mistakenly purchased a Pitman arm for an XJ without power steering, which, until this morning, I hadn't realised existed.

I'm just wondering if any where sold in the UK? I'm trying to work out if it's worth selling on or if I have £40 of scrap metal kicking about.

Does the pitman arm differ between RHD and LHD?

I do hope not. I just ordered a PS one.

The arm that I have is exactly the same length and drop, but the spline is different to the one on the steering box.

A power steering one has arrived. Not had a chance to fit it yet but the spline measures the same as the one I took off.

I don't think the original one was really up to being put back on again

Curious - I guess I've managed to find a non-ps arm from a RHD territory in that case.

Caribbean, Southern Africa, India, Australia... All RHD countries where a work-spec 4x4 is not unexpected.

Work spec on an XJ sounds good. Save carrying around all the luxury items that don't work any more I always liked the idea of the 3 door used as a van.

Can't imagine one without the impossibly light steering though!

New pitman arm fits - although the rotation on the spline is enough to have put the steering wheel 90 degrees out. Hopefully there's enough adjustment on the drag arm to realign it (or the steering wheel can be moved).
