XJ Steering Brace System
The JKS Steering Brace System reinforces the Jeep® Cherokee unibody at the steering gear mount, where the chassis is most vulnerable to failure. It was originally developed for us by leading Jeep Cherokee expert, Mark Hinkley, one of the industry's most experienced individuals in the effects of off-road use on the unibody chassis.
Laser-cut chassis plates are supplied for the inner and outer chassis rail, along with special sleeves that tie both plates together and provide additional support for the steering gear. The chassis plates and sleeves must be welded to the vehicle's chassis, as a bolt-on design could not possibly provide the same level of integrity and fitment.
The JKS Steering Brace System also helps distribute loads properly on vehicles with a winch or heavy front bumper. The additional support even strengthens the mounting location for the OE tow hook and repositions it for improved off-road clearance.
For the ultimate upgrade, our Steering Brace System is available for the driver and passenger side chassis rails in one complete kit. In addition to the benefits already mentioned, Cherokee owners can also benefit from a noticeable improvement in steering response and feel.
