track bar bracket on the chassis of your JK/JKU Jeep Wrangler 2007-2018.
It serves two purposes:
-
The prevention or repair of oval (wallowed out) holes on the OEM chassis-side track bar bracket by providing a tight fit hole and partially
threaded bolt with fully shanked section riding on both mounting holes. This is a common cause of what’s known as “death wobble”. The
chassis track bar bracket is also reinforced for the extreme stress experienced when off-roading.

installed in a block mounted under the steering box. This design enhances steering box longevity and stability, especially with larger
tires.
