The Yeti XD™ Sector Shaft Brace with Track Bar Reinforcement Bracket is a relatively low cost piece with an amazing value offered. This bracket makes an immediately noticeable improvement to the overall drivability of the vehicle.
One aspect of the bracket is to create an attachment point for the steering box sector shaft to the frame of the vehicle, which helps to limit horizontal movement that happens under normal driving situations and is compounded when adding larger wheels and tires. This brace also helps to absorb excessive blows to the sector shaft that can occur when major impacts occur while off-roading.
The second major benefit of this product is to reinforce the frame side mounting bracket for the track bar. From the factory, the frame side track bar mount is thin walled and the welds leave something to be desired. These stock brackets become liabilities when adding larger tires, and even more of a concern when adding larger axels, increasing the lift height, upgrading track bars, etc. Most people who are doing the above modifications are also off-roading the vehicle and are generally harder on them, which adds a lot of extra stress to this already weak point. The Track Bar reinforcement aspect of our bracket cradles the stock frame side track bar mount with 1/4" steel and connects it to another point on the frame.
The brackets utilize a maintenance-free roller bearing that mates to a magnicoated sector nut. All new magnicoated hardware is included with these kits and the 1/4" steel is e-coated for maximum corrosion and chip resistance.
If you're looking to tighten up the steering on your JK, JL, or JT, look no further than our YETI XD™ Sector Shaft Brace with Track Bar Reinforcement bracket!
On 4.5" , long arms, 40s, long travel shocks and end links. Daily driver as well as Windrock and Stoney. Needed something to calm the rear some at ~75 on highway. Solved the feel I needed it to. Very nice bar , using with RJ heim ends, still providing for articulation.
My Jeep Gladiator Rubicon has a 3" lift and decked out with a Super Pacific Cap and tent, plus all the extras I've installed. Battery system fridge/freezer, solar, ect... My only complaint about it's ride both on and off road has been it's tendancy to sway. A lot... The new rear sway bar from SteerSmarts has lessened that noticeably. So much so that even my kids asked if I had done something to the Jeep... So, I hightly recommend this for anyone running with a lot of weight in the rear or sitting high in a Gladiator.
This is by far one of the best additions to my suspension
So I have many additional upgrades to my rig! This one is one I didn’t know I needed! This in addition with their steering makes my vehicle so much more responsive and comfortable to drive! I definitely recommend this for a heavier gladiator !
I have a jeep gladiator on a 3.5 inch Clayton lift. Bought all yeti steer smart steering components. Good quality stuff but the tracbar will hit the front yukon diff cover. Just fyi if you’re going this route.
