Clayton Off Road Adjustable Front Track Bar + OE-Height Bracket Complete Kit | Adjustable Bar + Bracket | Bolt-On | 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ / 1993–1998 Grand Cherokee ZJ | SKU: COR-4500502

Verified Fitment

This kit fits the 1984 through 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ and the 1993 through 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ in all trims. It includes both the Clayton adjustable front track bar and the OE-height front track bar bracket — everything needed to install an adjustable front track bar at the factory mount height, in one package.

If you already have a Clayton adjustable front track bar: Order COR-4500400 (bracket only) instead — this kit bundles the bar and bracket together. If the bar is already sourced, the bracket alone is the correct purchase.

If your build requires a drop bracket instead of OE-height: This kit uses the OE-height bracket. For a lifted XJ or ZJ where a drop bracket is needed to correct track bar angle, order COR-4500410 (drop bracket) and source the adjustable track bar separately, or confirm with OFAS which combination is correct for your lift height.

Common Questions

What does this kit include and what problem does it solve?
This kit includes a Clayton adjustable front track bar and the OE-height front track bar bracket for the XJ and ZJ — both pieces needed to install an aftermarket adjustable front track bar at the factory mount height. The adjustable bar replaces the factory fixed-length bar, allowing the bar length to be set correctly for your lift height. The OE-height bracket provides the correct mount interface for the Clayton bar at the factory frame mount position.

When is OE-height correct vs. a drop bracket?
OE-height is the starting point. At stock or minimal lift, the factory track bar runs at an acceptable angle — OE-height hardware maintains that position with a better-quality adjustable bar. At more significant lift heights, the track bar angle may become steep enough to cause bump steer or lateral axle movement, in which case a drop bracket (COR-4500410) is the correct solution instead of this kit. If you are unsure whether OE-height or a drop bracket is appropriate for your lift height, text (469) 407-7538 before ordering.

I already have a Clayton adjustable front track bar. Do I need this kit?
No — if you already have a Clayton adjustable front track bar, order COR-4500400 (the OE-height bracket only). This kit bundles both pieces; ordering it when you already have the bar means paying for a duplicate.

Does this fit the WJ (1999–2004 Grand Cherokee)?
No — the WJ has different front track bar mount geometry. This kit is for the XJ (1984–2001) and ZJ (1993–1998) only.

What is the warranty on the track bar?
Clayton Off Road provides a lifetime warranty on the adjustable track bar included in this kit. Bracket warranty terms are not confirmed in available source data. Confirm full warranty details at claytonoffroad.com/pages/warranty-policy.

The Obsidian Take

This kit is for the XJ or ZJ owner who wants the complete front track bar solution in one package — adjustable bar and OE-height bracket together. No sourcing a companion track bar separately, no separate bracket order. Both pieces arrive together, both bolt on, and the front track bar geometry correction is complete.

The OE-height vs. drop bracket decision is the one question to resolve before ordering. OE-height is correct for stock or light-lift builds where the factory track bar angle is close enough to acceptable and the goal is simply a better-quality adjustable bar with a proper mount interface. The drop bracket (COR-4500410) is correct for builds where the track bar angle has steepened enough at lift to cause bump steer — in that case, this kit is not the right purchase. A short confirmation call to OFAS resolves that question before either order ships.

It is not for the WJ, any Wrangler, or JK/JL/JT. It is not for buyers who already have a Clayton adjustable front track bar — COR-4500400 (bracket only) is the correct purchase in that case.

Manufacturer Data Disclaimer

Product specifications and fitment data are sourced from Clayton Off Road product documentation and authorized product information. Actual product dimensions, fitment details, and compatibility may vary by specific vehicle configuration and manufacturer updates. Confirm OE-height vs. drop bracket selection and bar length setting with Clayton or OFAS before ordering.

Non-Returnable Notice

Suspension components are non-returnable once installed. Confirm vehicle identity (1984–2001 Cherokee XJ or 1993–1998 Grand Cherokee ZJ only), that OE-height bracket is the correct mount for your lift height (not a drop bracket), and that you do not already have a Clayton adjustable front track bar (if you do, order COR-4500400 instead). Text (469) 407-7538 with any fitment or configuration questions before your order is placed.
