Daystar Bushing for UCA brackets

This is the Daystar polyurethane bushing and weld-in sleeve option for Artec's upper control arm brackets. The Artec UCA brackets that mount to a Dana 30 or Rubicon 44 truss require a weld-in sleeve and bushing to locate the upper control arm; this Daystar setup is that bushing, giving you a quiet, compliant poly joint at the UCA mount.

Key Features

• Daystar polyurethane bushing with the matching weld-in sleeve
• Provides the correct upper control arm location on an Artec-trussed front axle
• Poly construction for a compliant, low-maintenance ride
• Completes the Artec UCA bracket, which ships requiring a sleeve and bushing

Fitment & Compatibility

Fits the Artec upper control arm brackets used with Artec Dana 30 and Rubicon Dana 44 trusses. Those brackets locate the passenger-side upper control arm and cover TJ, LJ, XJ, MJ and ZJ platforms plus the TJ/LJ Rubicon Dana 44. This is the bushing option for the Artec UCA brackets; if you would rather run a rebuildable flex joint, choose the Johnny Joint option instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need this bushing?
The Artec UCA brackets are designed to accept a weld-in sleeve and bushing to locate the upper control arm. This Daystar bushing and sleeve is that required component.

Which vehicles does it cover?
It works with Artec Dana 30 and Rubicon 44 truss UCA brackets, which fit TJ, LJ, XJ, MJ and ZJ, including the TJ/LJ Rubicon Dana 44.

Does the sleeve need to be welded in?
Yes. The sleeve welds into the UCA bracket, then the polyurethane bushing rides in the sleeve.

Daystar bushing or Johnny Joint?
The Daystar is a polyurethane bushing for a compliant, quiet ride; the Johnny Joint is a rebuildable flex joint with more articulation. Both fit the same Artec UCA brackets.
