After roughly a year in the making, we are proud to announce the release of our Ultimate Steering Brace for your 84-01 Cherokee!
- The design utilizes a large 1 1/4" grease-able pillow block bearing to brace the steering box from those hard hits and high loads that off-roading entails. The Ultimate Brace also effectively creates a truss between both Uni-Rails further stiffening the chassis. It is the constant pushing and pulling seen between the track bar and steering box that ultimately creates the all too common sheet metal cracks seen around the steering box and/or track bar mount. Combined with a good track bar brace, our steering brace not only effectively eliminates the stresses that leads to these cracks, but will also extend the life of the steering box by placing the sector shaft in double sheer.
- We utilize a specially machined sector nut made from high strength 1144 alloy steel to give the sector shaft the support it needs. It then get's a silver zinc and blue chromate finish to help prevent corrosion.
- In an effort to provide the highest quality parts, the Ultimate Brace undergoes a 3 stage powder coating process. It starts with a hot phosphate dip to clean and etch the steel. Then it gets a high zinc primer coat to help adhesion and prevent rust from forming. Finally, it's coated in a durable black hammer tone finish that is easy to clean and will look great for years to come.
- We've incorporated high profile recovery and trailer tie down points into the design as well.
*** Please note: ***
The Brace does require the use of drop brackets if you plan to keep your factory sway bar. We offer our brackets at a discounted price if you purchase them with the Brace. The brace has also been designed around the factory pitman arm, but most aftermarket drop arms will work. However, you'll need to make sure to check clearance at full steering lock to ensure the arm doesn't contact the brace. If it does, your steering stops will need to be adjusted.
We now offer the kit in a DIY raw parts version! Simply select the kit from the drop down menu. (Requires fit-up and welding).
