Description
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 benefit of the product is to reinforce the frame side track bar mounting location to help minimize any deflection of this bracket and ensure that the mount doesn't break under extreme stress.
Note: This product is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DROP PITMAN ARM.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What does the YETI XD Sector Shaft Brace do?
A: This brace is designed to support and reinforce the sector shaft of the aluminum steering box found in Jeep JL and JT models. It reduces flex and stress on the steering box, especially when running larger tires and off-road loads.
Q: How do I know if I have the aluminum steering box on my JT or JL?A: The aluminum steering box is typically silver in color, while the steel box is dark gray or black. You can also confirm by checking the build date or consulting your dealership with your VIN.
Q: Why combine the sector shaft brace with a track bar bracket?A: Combining the two components creates a more rigid and unified structure, significantly reducing frame flex, steering box deflection, and potential misalignment of the track bar mount under load.
Q: Is this a bolt-on kit?A: Yes. It is 100% bolt-on and installs using factory mounting points—no drilling, cutting, or welding required.
