I have the pinion bushings too. I haven’t heard any clunking or weird noise since the install. I actually had a slight clunk from the right rear after I installed my H&R springs but that went away after the Steeda brace and bushings were installed.

I’ve had mine installed for the last 6 months with no issues. Hope that gives you some peace of mind.

Any one looking for spacers?

I believe all ST’s have a tow package. I’ve never seen one with out it.

Show them the pics of each part. It’s pretty clear to me which part is correct. Maybe they didn’t realize you have an ST?

The part number LB5Z-17K835-GB is correct for an ST. The other part number is for an Explorer without a tow package. Look up both parts and you can clearly see the difference.

I’m guessing you will be in it for approximately $450 if you are replacing it yourself. Tasca Ford had that lower bumper for $310.

I read all about it and It was great that you went through all of that trouble to figure it out. I even took your advice on using Lionhart tires. Trust me, I know that you’re very knowledgeable and your set up is amazing. It’s just not for me and I’m ok with having to use a spacer, not a big...

Awesome! Mine do too.

My wheels are lug centric and fit just fine. Yes, the bore is slightly larger but I added the rings to fill that gap. The wheels are perfectly centered and with proper torque they aren’t going anywhere.

Yes, those wheels will fit fine. I just bought 20x10.5 TSW wheels with a +30 offset and 76.1 hub bore and no issues. Grab a set of polycarbonate hubcentric rings and you will be all set. I went with a 295/45/20 tire which keeps the diameter very close to the stock 21” tire.

I have a 2022 and the diff had to be removed to replace the bushing. The tech had to use a specific tool that removes it from the diff side and pushes out towards the rear of the vehicle. It looked to me like you couldn’t do this with the diff in place. They also have to remove the diff cover...

Did they give you a hard time about the rear diff mods?

It’s going to cost approximately $50 to ship these to you. I think I’m going to hold on $175. Let me know if you want them.
