Reid Racing JL001L Jeep Wrangler JL/Gladiator JT Dana 30/Rubicon 44 Left Steering Knuckle
JL001L
The Reid Racing JL001L is the left (driver's side) heavy-duty stock replacement steering knuckle for 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT with Dana 30 or Rubicon Dana 44 front axles. OEM knuckles are cast aluminum — any amount of serious off-roading wallows out the ball joint and tie rod tapers, leaving steering dangerously loose and sloppy. Reid Racing knuckles are cast from the same high-strength ductile iron used across their entire product line. The ductile iron is so rigid that ball joints and tie rod ends remain firmly locked in place.
- Sold individually — left (driver's side) knuckle only. Order JL001R for the right (passenger's side).
- Fits JL/JT Dana 30, JL/JT Rubicon Dana 44, and Mopar & aftermarket JL/JT axles.
- Uses stock 2018+ Jeep JL/JT brake rotors, calipers, stub shafts, and U-joints.
- Easy bolt-on installation with no machining required.
- Cast-in steering stop prevents stop bolt bending common to OEM knuckles.
- Both knuckles have machined drag link arms — compatible with right-hand drive vehicles.
- Aftermarket high-strength axle shafts, U-joints/CV joints, and stub shafts can be used.
- Antilock Brakes, Traction Control, and Electronic Stability Control systems remain fully operational.
- Cast from high-strength ductile iron and beefed up with extra material and ribbing.
- 100% Made in the USA.
Note on Flipped Drag Link Option (JL001L-F): The -F variant has the drag link taper machined from the top so a flipped drag link can be used, putting the drag link above the steering arm to correct geometry for common suspension lifts. The flipped drag link option does NOT fit OEM Jeep suspensions — aftermarket suspension kits and special drag links are required. Chassis modifications may also be required. Consult your suspension, steering, and chassis specialists before purchasing.
