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 where the Steel box requires 4x short gear bolts.

*Note - Mojave JT and Diesel JT Gladiators require slight modification that is outlined in the installation instructions found here

***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***

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 ???

Nice Part but….

Nice part. Easy install and nice fit. Unfortunately at full compression my coil spring and bucket hit the brace. I have EVO arms and cannot pull them back any further. Big bummer.

Steer smart brace

Fitment isn’t the best could use refining. Steering is tighter but may be from tension other than bracing

Installed 2023 Wrangler JL (4 door)

Install on 2023 Wrangler JL , instructions on website was pretty straight forward, follow the instructions! Yes removing the factory steering box nut can for sure give you a challenge but can be done. Product arrived well packaged. The fitment of the bearing plate can be a pain, it does take a few light taps with rubber mallet to get bearing onto supplied steering box nut, and then if you have already tightened and torqued the bolts for the supplied bracket thru the frame and into the steering box as the instructions say to do, you may find that the two 13mm bolts that help hold the bearing plate in the bracket can be difficult to get aligned. Haven't driven yet to feel the results but I hope it improves the wandering.

Not what I expected at all

I have to admit I was skeptical but after the lift and 37's I was not looking forward to visiting my family 960 miles away because of how it wandered, not bad but not comfortable for a long tired drive. Today was my first 70mph long trip multiple surfaces and its just like stock, so impressed and I have the steel power steering pump, I understand the aluminum one is even worst. I absolutely recommend this product and no I am not payed just very impresse.
