JKS Rear Upper Bushing Shock Bar Pin Eliminators

2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Part #: JKS9607

Overview

The JKS Rear Upper Bushing Shock Bar Pin Eliminators are a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for the rear upper shock mounts of the Jeep Wrangler JK model years 2007 through 2018.
