Product Description

The Rugged Ridge 18021.02 Heavy Duty Steering Box Brace is engineered for 1976-1986 Jeep CJ-series and related models equipped with power steering, providing critical reinforcement for the steering gear box and frame rails. Especially useful for lifted or off-road-used CJs where additional stress and flex can lead to steering box bracket failure, this brace strengthens the entire mounting area to reduce fatigue and improve confidence on and off-road.

Installation is straightforward: the brace mounts using existing mounting holes, clamps around the steering sector housing, and bolts into place in approximately 1-2 hours. With its durable steel construction and black powder-coat finish, it's built to handle serious use. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, it is a smart upgrade for restoration, trail-rig or daily driver CJ builds.

Please confirm your vehicle is a 1976-1986 Jeep CJ (CJ5, CJ7, CJ8) or related model with power steering. Fitment for other vehicles, later generations, or vehicles without power steering is unconfirmed at the time of this listing.
