The JK APEX Stock Tracbar Bracket is a heavy-duty replacement for the factory front track bar mount on the Jeep Wrangler JK, engineered to work with Artec's late-2019-and-newer APEX front axle truss (or an untrussed axle). CNC cut and bent from 1/4" mild steel, it reinforces one of the most abused points on the front Dana 30 or Dana 44 housing and helps eliminate death wobble caused by a worn or flexing factory bracket.
Key Features
- Formed from 1/4" mild steel and CNC precision cut and bent for a drop-in weld fit
- Replaces the factory front Dana 30 or Dana 44 track bar bracket to prevent death wobble and flex
- Integrates with the newer Artec APEX Truss for JK (late 2019 onward)
- Lifts the factory sway bar mount 1.75" for corrected geometry
- Allows the steering damper to be rotated to the top side of the tie rod for greater clearance
- Retains the stock track bar mounting height (non-raised)
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU (2007-2018), front Dana 30 (Sport/Sahara) or Dana 44 (Rubicon) axle. Designed for use with the Artec APEX Truss or a non-trussed axle only. It does NOT fit 1st-generation Artec trusses produced prior to November 2019. Best suited to builds retaining a roughly stock-height track bar; for lifts of 2.0" or more, see the JK APEX Raised Tracbar Bracket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bracket work with my 1st-generation Artec truss?
No. It is designed only for the newer APEX Truss (late 2019 onward) or a non-trussed axle. It will not fit 1st-generation Artec trusses made before November 2019.
Does it fit both the Dana 30 and Dana 44 front axle?
Yes. It replaces the factory front track bar bracket on JK/JKU Dana 30 (Sport/Sahara) and Dana 44 (Rubicon) axles.
Do I need to weld it on?
Yes, this is a weld-on bracket. It replaces the factory bracket and should be installed by someone comfortable welding to a cast/forged axle housing.
Can this help with death wobble?
A cracked or flexing factory track bar bracket is a common contributor to death wobble. This heavier bracket restores a solid mounting point, which can help address that when combined with sound steering and suspension components.
Should I choose this or the raised version?
Choose the stock bracket if you are running roughly stock ride height. If you have 2.0" of lift or more, the JK APEX Raised Tracbar Bracket corrects roll-center geometry for that added height.
