Purchased a number of Steer Smarts parts the first of the year and installed the sector shaft brace today. Drove 70 miles home and I confirm there was a huge difference if the ability to control my gladiator in windy and rutted freeway conditions. The difference between the trip down to install and the trip back up was night and day. Great product so far

I own a 2022 Wrangler JLU Diesel with a 2.5" Rock Krawler X-Factor lift kit. Once I swapped the tires for 37"s, the shakes, vibrations and "dancing in the lane" were ridiculous! The slightest bump in the road would shake the ride like crazy. Installation instructions were clear and well documented and the install itself was a breeze with basic home garage tools. Just make sure to have the recommended tools suggested in the instructions. The install took me about an hour and a half taking my time. I did need an impact gun to release the 42mm pitman arm bolt. After installing this part, I noticed that the steering input / response was extremely improved and the shakes and vibrations were about 90% gone. Thank you Steer Smarts for one heck of a product!! Next part Tie Rod and Drag Link!

Easy install with correct tools, sockets and floor jack etc. Steering is 99% better. Very good up grade.

The installation was straightforward. This made a noticeable improvement in the steering tightness/feel and cut down on steering input.

Track bar issues are a well-known problem for most solid axle vehicles. Add in the aluminum steering box that early JLs have and you can be fighting two different problems. I didn't have any noticeable wandering in my steering box but definitely noticed everything firmed up after the installation. I like this design better than the others offered.

This should be on Every Jeep JL from the factory. It took me 30 minutes to install and makes the drive so much better. I have a stock 2020 Jeep Rubicon on 35's. The Pitman arm bolt came off pretty easy with a 30 inch torque bar. The rest of the installation was super easy. I lifted my jeep and supported it by the frame not the axle allowing the axle. This allowed more working room for the bolts..

Adds strength to a vulnerable sector shaft and track bar mount. If you're going up to 37" tires+...you need this brace. Well made in comparison to the competition. Getting nut off pitman is the only install issue, but can be done with impact or large breaker bar. JTR steers like butter with my 37's.

Got the Steer Smarts kit with sector shaft support for my 21 JLUR because it always felt like something was flexing while driving and imperfections or inputs in the steering. Installed this kit, and instantly felt and noticed a difference in feed back and any steering input. Only concern I think the kit could improve on is having correct washers or shims to be installed between lower part of bearing and very small type per say snap ring. I would think that small keeper should have a very minimal, if any clearance ? Satisfied with product and results. Running 37’s, 5.13 gears, and 3” lift (4 door) Doug

I installed this along with the rest of Steersmarts parts for the front of my 2018 JLUR while installing the Dynatrac Endurosport lift. The install was super simple, no issues at all, and my steering feels noticeably tighter/firmer and more responsive. How much of it was this versus the rest of the Steersmarts parts? I'm not sure, but for the price I feel like it's cheap insurance for limiting deflection and protecting the factory frame bracket when off road.

I have a 2019 JLU with a 3.5” lift and 37s and the factory aluminum steering box. Just installed this today, took about 1-2 hours, and it has completely fixed the sloppy steering. Slow speeds you don’t see much but about 40mph and up, night and day. About the install, easy. Sorry really can’t think about what else to say because it was just that easy.

I've seen mixed reviews on these parts on whether or not they do something. After installing on my 2020 JTR, I feel like there is a discernible positive difference in the before and after in terms of how the steering feels. I did have the TSB (08-074-20) done and I have the steel steering gear, so this brace is not just for rigs with the aluminum slop box. The fact that Steer Smarts uses a bearing vs a bushing steered (ahem) me towards this brand.
