Rear UCA & Trackbar Bracket Replacement for Jeep Wrangler TJ & LJ 1997-2006
The Artec Industries Rear UCA & Trackbar Bracket Replacement rebuilds the combined upper control arm and track bar mount on the rear axle of a Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) or Unlimited LJ (2004-2006). The factory mount is thin stamped steel, and it is usually the first thing to crack, tear, or fold once a lift, larger tires, and hard trail miles start loading the rear suspension. This fabricated 1/4" steel bracket welds on in place of the OEM piece, restoring the stock pickup points and correct rear geometry in one reinforced unit. It is the right fix for a Jeep that has already torn a bracket, and cheap insurance for one that has not yet.
Features
- Fabricated from 1/4" steel, far stronger than the stamped factory bracket
- Combines the rear upper control arm and track bar mounts in one reinforced piece
- Direct replacement that restores factory pickup points and correct rear suspension geometry
- Weld-on installation to the TJ/LJ rear axle housing
- Built to handle lifted setups and larger tires that overload the OEM mount
- Made in the USA (SKU TJ0001)
Confirm your Jeep is a 1997-2006 Wrangler TJ or 2004-2006 Unlimited LJ and inspect the factory mount for cracks before ordering; the old bracket comes off the housing and this one is welded on in its place, so professional welding is required and fresh welds should be primed and painted. Pair it with the TJ Front Axle UCA Replacement up front, dial in rear coil geometry with the TJ Rear Coil Correction Kit, and see more control arm mounts and control arm upgrades.
Rear UCA & Trackbar Bracket Replacement for Jeep Wrangler TJ & LJ 1997-2006 FAQs
Will this bracket fit my Jeep?
It is a direct replacement for the combined rear upper control arm and track bar bracket on the Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) and Unlimited LJ (2004-2006). Before ordering, inspect your factory mount — cracking, tearing, or visible flex around the bracket are the classic signs it needs replacing.
Is welding required to install it?
Yes. The factory stamped bracket is cut off the rear axle housing and this 1/4" steel bracket is welded on in its place. That is structural welding on a suspension pickup point, so it should be handled by a professional welder, and the fresh welds should be primed and painted afterward.
Why replace the factory bracket at all?
The OEM rear UCA and track bar mount is thin stamped steel and a known weak point that bends and cracks under off-road loads. Replacing it before adding a lift or larger tires restores the correct pickup points and geometry, and gives the rear suspension mounts that hold up to trail abuse.
