Looks like it just get a reman from a quality supplier. cheaper doesn’t mean it’s better ,nor does more expensive make it better. do your research

I figured it would be fun to rebuild it

That's quite ambitious. I'd just swap it, myself, but if you do your homework, the world is your oyster. I imagine there are a lot of ball bearings. I'm not exactly sure how these things get sloppy so I'd be mindful of the fix for that. Every rebuild kit is gonna come with a ton of o-rings so I think you'll be covered there.

Me-ow! Rawr! Try some coffee bro...

OP Dude. Don't rebuild, upgrade!
A 12:1 ratio box is available and you don't have it.
Ummm...besides, I bet ONE MILLION DOLLARS that you want to rebuild it because of your "rag joint", not the steering box.

I'm certain a veritable litany of other users may be more so inclined than I, to learn you all about the XJ steering swap.

G Body Saginaw box? Good point here.

The XJ intermediate steering shaft swap gets rid of that crappy rag joint and replaces it with a universal joint. It uses the same column 'D' end and Saginaw splined end as the Jeep. It's very easy. You just get a shaft from the junkyard, heat it up to compress it, lengthen it while it's still warm so it fits properly, and bolt it in. The years you want are 1984-96, I believe, and no Grand Cherokee shafts. It works on for sure on 1979 and later squares; GMT400s through '96; and B, G, F Bodies. I feel like there was something else, but I'm too tired to recall at the moment.
