If your Cherokee’s front end feels loose, especially after lifting or running wider tires, a steering box brace can make a noticeable difference. It helps support the sector shaft, reduces the load on the steering box’s mounting bolts, and keeps things from shifting under stress.
We carry steering braces made to fit 1984-2001 XJs, designed to clamp around the steering box and sector shaft. These braces cut down on play, reduce steering box movement, and address issues people commonly report like cracked frame tabs or loose bolts at the gear box mount. These are serious problems on lifted rigs or with off-road use.
Installing a brace doesn’t usually take long—but it pays off. Once you have one on, many XJ owners notice steering that feels tighter, fewer noises when bumping off rough terrain, and better overall control. It’s one of those upgrades that helps with both trail hardening and everyday driving.
