Can’t imagine it would be any different than 2022, which was all steel.

Recently there was a thread, I think discussing axle shafts, and a diesel owner said their knuckles were aluminum, which was news to me. I also thought they were all steel but that’s not what people said in that thread. (Caveat: that may have been on the wrangler forum, not sure if different JL to JT.)

JTRD's steering box and knuckles are cast iron/steel. All u-joints on all models are steel. Why would you think u-joints are different?
