Quick Overview

Fits JKs with 2.0" lift or higher.
The factory steering box on Wrangler JK models contains an Achilles heel that often manifests itself as a noticeable "clunk" noise heard and felt through the steering wheel. The problem is particularly troublesome on vehicles with large tires or a dropped pitman arm. Inside the steering box, the sector shaft is responsible for transferring steering input to the steering linkage. However, the shaft is supported by a pair of notoriously weak bearings that have a disturbingly high failure rate. Without additional support, the opposite end of the sector shaft acts like a lever when the driver applies too much force to the steering wheel. Unless corrected, the sector shaft will develop significant slop within the steering box and eventually it will twist, bend or even shear off completely.
*Heavy-duty bearing fixture stabilizes and supports steering box output shaft to prevent the leading cause of premature failure
*External bearing supports sector shaft below pitman arm converting factory steering box from single-shear to double-shear
*Double-shear design eliminates side loading of sector shaft to prevent wobble and premature wear of internal bearings
*Teflon lined spherical ball and sealed alloy race ensure smooth dependable service in the harshest environments
*Reinforced sector shaft dramatically improves steering responsiveness for greater control, handling and driver confidence
*Add-on product requires both PN OGS163 and PN OGS164 to install.
*Installation requires welding.
*Requires OE type steering box.
*Compatible with Rubicon and Unlimited models.
*Not compatible with TeraFlex track bars.
*Not compatible with SOME drag link flip kits. Call JKS for details.

Product Description

JKS Manufacturing has developed the Sector Shaft Brace to keep the sector shaft stabilized within the steering box. It does this by adding an additional support bearing at the bottom of the sector shaft. This converts the shaft mounting configuration from single- to double-shear and eliminates any side loading. As a result, the shaft remains concentric within the steering box at all times and steering input is transferred to the wheels more efficiently. This alone can extend the life of the steering box dramatically.
The Sector Shaft Brace mounts directly to our Front Trackbar Chassis Brace using premium grade hardware. This rigidly secures the sector shaft to the left frame rail and locks it in position. It also attaches to the inner chassis rail via a weld-on mounting fixture. And finally, the Sector Shaft Brace attaches to our tubular Front Chassis Brace Connector which crosses over to the right frame rail. With the Sector Shaft Brace securely connected to both chassis rails, the vehicle becomes more responsive to steering input and the driver notices a better sense of control through the steering wheel.
