Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 (Pair)
Rear upper control arm brackets are among the first things to bend when a Jeep Wrangler JK's rear axle finds a rock, because the factory pieces are thin stampings with barely any weld holding them on. Artec Industries' replacements are 1/4" boxed steel, wrapped farther around the axle tube so the weld area is measured in real inches and the bracket stays put when the trail gets serious. They keep the OEM 2.4" mounting width, so factory and aftermarket upper arms bolt straight in, and two saddle sizes cover stock and swapped axles.
Features
- 1/4" boxed steel plate replaces the tear-prone factory rear UCA stampings
- OEM 2.4" mounting width — factory and aftermarket upper arms fit unchanged
- Wraps the axle tube for far more weld surface than the stock bracket
- Simple indexing: an 18mm socket against the factory brake flange lines the bracket up for welding
- Two saddle sizes: 3.15" for the factory Dana 44 or 3.5" for aftermarket and 1-ton swap axles
- Sold as a driver-and-passenger pair
- Made in the USA
Measure your axle tube before ordering — a stock JK Dana 44 runs 3.15" tubes, while most aftermarket and 1-ton swap housings run 3.5". These are weld-on brackets, so plan for a competent welder and paint over the bare steel afterward. Pair them with the JK Rear LCA Brackets with Skids below the tube, go long-arm with the Long Arm Rear LCA Frame Brackets, or shop the full control arms collection.
Rear Upper Control Arm Brackets for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 (Pair) FAQs
Which axle tube version do I need?
Measure your rear axle tube diameter. The factory JK Dana 44 runs 3.15" tubes, while most aftermarket and 1-ton swap housings run 3.5". Order the matching variant so the saddle wraps the tube correctly for welding.
Will my control arms still fit?
Yes. The brackets keep the OEM 2.4" mounting width, so factory upper control arms and aftermarket replacements both bolt in without modification.
How do I position them for welding?
Artec designed them to index off the factory brake flange — hold an 18mm socket against the flange to line the bracket up before tacking. They are weld-on brackets, so final installation belongs to someone comfortable welding on an axle housing, and the bare steel should be painted afterward.
