In this video, we install an upgraded billet aluminum steering rack clamp from 333 Fabrications.

This stronger than stock mount is intended to preserve your vehicle’s alignment. Stock steering brackets are intended for on-road use, but cannot withstand the abuse of off-road driving, nor increased tire sizes.

Since these vehicles have a rear steer setup, the forward load against the tires is pushed rearward into the steering rack. This force causes the steering rack’s vertically bolted center mount to act as a fulcrum on which the rack pivots. This, in turn, makes the bracket the weakest link in securing the steering rack. Over time and under load, the bracket will stretch and distort, causing the bushing to fit loosely around the rack. As a result, this causes play and poor response in the steering. 333 Fabrications have designed a much more robust bracket, CNC milled from 6061 aluminum, the HD Billet Rack Clamp improves upon the stock bracket in all use cases.

Firstly, the beveled edge on the bushing mating surface has been removed. This helps secure the bushing from wandering horizontally. And secondly, our bracket is approximately 50% larger than the stock bracket. This allows our bracket to withstand just over 1000 lb-ft more than the stock bracket (Strength numbers generated in CAD analysis).
