Features & Product Details

The YETI XD JK Sector Shaft Brace with Frame-Side Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket was engineered to bolt onto the stock track bar mount on the frame. The purpose of this piece is two-fold. First, the sector shaft support is meant to help minimize the aluminum and steel steering gears from flexing/deflecting/moving when cycling your steering system side to side. The second part of the product is to reinforce the frame-side track bar mounting location to help minimize any deflection of this bracket and ensuring that the mount doesn't break under extreme stress.

Features

Easy bolt-on installation with minimal modification needed

1/4" Wall steel laser-cut bracket

1/2" steel Sector Support with Sealed Roller Bearing

All upgraded fasteners included

E-coated for corrosion resistance that won't chip when torqued

Made in the USA

USA Quality
Looked at other brands and decided to purchase this one. heard good reviews. once I opened the box it was a wow factor. heavy duty a little over kill but hey, I would rather have that then break down on the trail. Had it about 7 months now got it dirty. No drifting with bigger wider tires. Great product.

Made a difference in steering feel. Only issue I have is my torque wrench only goes to 150, need 185 ft-lbs. Quality part.

I installed this on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a 2.5" lift and 35's. After the lift the steering felt numb and it needed a lot of steering correction. Had to to 2 alignments shops and the alignment was 100%. Northridge 4x4 chat steered me in this direction and I am glad they did. The steering is more responsive and feels tighter. It was easy to put on except I figured out my track bar bracket mounted to the frame was bent so it took about 3 hours from start to finish. 1 install tip, the instructions say to tighten the 4 bolts that go through the frame and into the steering box on step 5 or so, don't do that. Get everything started and snug (including track bar) before fully tightening anything. There is a bit of adjustment (up/down/left/right) so wait until the end to fully tighten everything.

I purchased this during the process of adding hydro assist steering. I installed the brace before installing the hydro system. After installation it was a very noticeable difference in handling on the highway. The wandering was drastically reduced, almost eliminated. The feeling of being pushed or blown to the side whenever larger vehicles pass is gone. It now stays in its place at higher speeds on highway lanes that it use to grab and wanted to follow the ruts. Before I always thought it was just the "it's a Jeep thing" after lifting it.

Many people consider sector shaft braces pointless, but let me tell you this made a difference on my '17 JK. It helped reduced the dead spot in the steering feel while driving down the highway and it adds great peace of mind about worrying about the sector shaft breaking while out on the trail. It fit like a glove and works with my Teraflex HD44 axle and HD track bar no problem at all on my 3.5 RT3 lift.
