Show original supplier description
The Steeda 555-8141 Rear Differential Brace is engineered to enhance the performance and stability of your Ford Explorer's rear differential. Constructed from durable billet aluminum, this brace utilizes a dual bushing design for improved damping and responsiveness. With an emphasis on superior performance, the 555-8141 boasts 50% more attachment points than competitive braces, ensuring a more secure and robust mounting solution. This increased support helps to reduce flex and torque hop, leading to a more confident driving experience and improved traction, particularly during spirited driving or under load. It also features a strategically placed hole that allows for access to the oil fill plug without requiring the removal of the brace itself, simplifying maintenance procedures. This brace is compatible with 2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST models, and also fits the King Ranch and Platinum trims.
