Reinforcement and protection braces for mounting structures of vehicle steering knuckle lower control arms

The present invention provides reinforcing braces for attachment to factory-supplied chassis mounts for the lower control arms of steering knuckles of vehicles to reinforce and shield the mounts from objects below the vehicle encountered when traveling through rugged terrain. Each brace includes a pair of parallel sturdy metal flanges that are attached to a sturdy metal lower base plate. Each flange is designed to be attached to one of the flanges of the factory-supplied chassis mounts, and has an opening therein for receiving mounting hardware, and an open section for engagement with camber adjustment structures. The sturdy base plates provide a lower shield to protect the chassis and mounting hardware from damage from contact with large objects encountered below the vehicle. The front base plate may also include an elongated front shield for deflecting large objects as the vehicle moves forward.
