Overview

The Crown Automotive Fender Flare Retainer Bracket, part number 55003232, is a right front retainer bracket for fender flares. The fit list covers the 1984–1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ.

Compare the bracket with the one it replaces before ordering to confirm size, material and finish.

Fender flare mounting basics

A fender flare bracket carries part of the load of the flare, so it works alongside the fasteners and clips to hold the flare steady over bumps and in wind. Because the bracket sits in a fixed position, its mounting holes and tabs must line up with the body and the flare at the same time. Small misalignments can cause rattling or uneven gaps along the fender edge.

When replacing a bracket, look at the surrounding sheet metal for rust, cracks or enlarged holes, since a worn mount point can make a new bracket loosen quickly. Clean the area and confirm the position before tightening. Working slowly and checking the fit before final tightening helps the flare sit evenly along the body.

  • Check the bracket is the right front position
  • Look for rust or cracks around the mount points
  • Dry-fit the flare before final tightening

Questions & Answers

Is this bracket for the right front or left front fender?

It is a right front fender flare retainer bracket, so order the right front position. The left front needs its own bracket.

Does this bracket fit a 1984 Cherokee XJ?

The fit list covers the 1984 to 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ, so a 1984 XJ is included. Confirm your vehicle's year, model and trim before ordering.

Is a mounting bracket kit needed with this bracket?

Check your existing flare hardware before installation. Confirm the bracket matches the flare kit you are installing, since other parts may be needed for a complete mount.

How can you tell a fender flare bracket is failing?

Look for cracks, rust-through, bent tabs or holes that have worn oval. A flare that sits unevenly or rattles over bumps often points to a worn mount. Replace the bracket rather than bending a damaged one back into shape.

Should other flare hardware be replaced at the same time?

Often yes when the flare is off. Worn clips, nuts and screws can loosen the mount again after installation. Inspect the fasteners and replace any that are bent, stripped or corroded before reinstalling the flare.
