This is the Daystar polyurethane bushing and weld-in sleeve set that completes an Artec upper control arm bracket. Artec's UCA brackets for Dana 30 and Rubicon Dana 44 truss setups ship ready to accept a sleeve and joint, and this option fills that spot with a greaseable poly bushing — the quiet, compliant, low-maintenance choice for rigs that see as much pavement as trail. The seamless DOM sleeve welds into the bracket and carries a zinc-plated inner sleeve strong enough that splitting is not a concern under heavy loads.
Features
- Daystar polyurethane bushing halves with zinc-plated inner sleeve
- Seamless DOM outer tube with grease zerk fitting for easy service
- Completes Artec UCA brackets, which require a sleeve and bushing to locate the arm
- Compliant poly keeps the front end quiet on the street
- Fits Artec large-format link brackets across TJ, LJ, XJ, MJ, and ZJ truss setups
- Made in the USA
The sleeve welds into the Artec UCA bracket, then the bushing and inner sleeve assemble into it, so plan the welding alongside the bracket install. It pairs with the Artec UCA brackets used on Dana 30 and Rubicon 44 trusses, and it is the bushing option offered with the TJ Front Axle UCA Replacement.

Daystar Bushing for Artec UCA Brackets FAQs
Why do I need this bushing with the Artec UCA bracket?
Artec's UCA brackets are designed to accept a weld-in sleeve and bushing that locate the upper control arm — the bracket alone has no joint in it. This Daystar set is that required component: the DOM sleeve welds into the bracket and the poly bushing with its zinc-plated inner sleeve rides inside.
Which setups does it fit?
It fits the Artec upper control arm brackets used with Dana 30 and Rubicon Dana 44 trusses, covering TJ, LJ, XJ, MJ, and ZJ platform builds. It also suits Artec's other large link brackets that take the same sleeve-and-bushing format.
Should I pick this or the Johnny Joint option?
Choose the Daystar bushing for a quiet, compliant, lower-cost upper mount that greases through a zerk fitting and needs little attention. Choose the Johnny Joint if your build flexes hard enough to need extra articulation and you want a joint that can be rebuilt. Both fit the same Artec UCA brackets.
