YETI XD™ JL/JT SECTOR SHAFT BRACE WITH TRACK BAR REINFORCEMENT BRACKET

 by Steer Smarts

Part number: 79040002

 
The YETI XD™ JL/JT 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.
If you've had the TSB (technical service bulletin) work performed on your pre-2021 Wrangler or Gladiator, you will want to use the 4x short gear bolts. The fastener bag provides bolts for both aluminum and steel gear variations. The Aluminum box requires 2x short gear and 2x long gear bolts whereas the Steel box requires 4x short gear bolts.

***Fitment Issues may be present with certain aftermarket track bars -- fitment based on angle/how the hoop is bent as they can cause interference. We have seen fitment issues with the following track bars: ROUGH COUNTRY, CORE4X4...
 NOTE: This product will only work with stock gearbox.
***NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 2024+ MODELS***

Best upgrade I’ve done to my gladiator

If you are looking to make your gladiator feel tighter and drive better this is it. I have a 2020 Rubicon stock suspension on 35’s. The difference in how it drives is instantly noticeable. The word I see most people use to describe how the steering feels after installation is tighter. This is a good word to use however, it doesn’t fully describe how much better it feels overall. It feels more connected to the road, more solid a more natural feeling.
I have done the steel steering box fix and added the Falcon adjustable steering damper.
Before I did the upgrade I reached out to Matt from Ozark Overland Adventures through an Instagram DM. And asked if this would make sense since I was stock on 35’s. He said he felt it would be a good upgrade, and wow was he right.
It’s only been a few days but would recommend this to any gladiator owner, and more than that I would say this should be your first upgrade.

Good investment

Very noticeable difference in steering for the better .you do need a little patience with 13mm bolts but it improved my steering a lot

This is awesome. I hope this helps with my death wobble fix I’m battling on my 2022 JLURD. It was easy to install and ties everything together so it should be much stiffer and stronger now

Solid Construction

The team at Steer Smarts are very helpful. Sector Shaft is very well built and solid.
Instructions were spot on. Track bar is seriously heavy duty and looks great. Also easy to install.
I can certainly tell the difference. Overall very impressed and extremely happy with purchase.
Cant wait to install the Tie Rod and Drive Link.

Why ???

Why would you use a cheep split lock washer on a steering component ?

After seeing more than one , split lock washer expanded due to torque.

Cheep hardware.

Why not a Nordlock washer ???
