Supported by a significant sector shaft in the JL or JT, this brace provides additional protection to steering system components with thick 3/8" formed steel. The sector shaft support is CAD-designed, laser-cut, and attached to the crossmember, adding strength to the already stressed frame section where the steering linkage is mounted.
Mounting on the crossmember helps distribute loads away from the Jeep's frame and gain support from the crossmember's strength.
Mounting the brace on the opposite side of the steering box prevents the box from pulling away from the frame, relieves stress on the steering box bolts, and reduces unwanted strains on the frame.
The high-load oil-impregnated bronze bushing has no wear points on its surface and provides 100% contact without the issues found in inferior braces using needle bearings. The bronze bushing offers higher load capacity than comparable needle bearings (3500 pounds compared to 3100 pounds of dynamic radial load), is completely maintenance-free, and ensures long-lasting performance.
The brace is coated with our signature gold zinc chromate for lasting finish and is manufactured here in the USA.
Note: We recommend having a suspension specialist align your Jeep after installing MetalCloak suspension.
Note: Not compatible with 2024 models.
Note: The sector shaft brace may require an additional steering linkage spacer for better clearance. A 2-inch spacer is the minimum required.
