Are you planning on adding Cylinder Assist® Now or in the Future?
Quantity

If you're running big tires, lockers, or just pushing your Jeep JK/JKU harder than stock, PSC offers two serious upgrades for your steering system: the Cylinder Assist® Steering Gear and the Replacement Gear. Both are engineered for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU models and built to handle the demands of off-road abuse and oversized tires.

The Cylinder Assist® Gear is the strongest, most capable bolt-on gear available, designed for those planning to run a full assist system. The Replacement Gear is a heavy-duty, non-assist option for drivers who want improved steering performance without adding hydraulic assist.

Tech InfoTech Info

Heads‑up for installers

  • Cylinder Assist® Gear requires a high-flow/high-pressure pump (PSC recommends PK38JP1 or PK36JP1)
  • Both gears weigh ~57 lbs—use proper lifting tools or grab a buddy
  • If using a Synergy MFG Track Bar Brace, you’ll need the HWK-688-PP Bolt Kit (110mm)
  • Factory or PSC-supplied bolts may cause case failure with certain aftermarket braces
  • Supplied Pitman arm has no additional drop—some setups may need a drag link flip kit
