    JXB DIff Insert x Steeda’s Diff Brace

    I put JXB insert in my 1 (3) bolt setup. No NVH. I’ve had it with the AWR brace, no issues. But in all honesty you should get an opinion from someone who has the two bolt setup, they seem to be experiencing different things. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

    JXB DIff Insert x Steeda’s Diff Brace

    The oem bolts are just fine, especially with the JXB inserts. They’re meant to flex more. The larger more rigid bolt is more likely to crack or emit NVH. But in all honesty, I’ve heard there’s been a good chunk of people who have had NVH with the JXB inserts on the two bolt setup, I am unsure...

    New fueling option for the Explorer - Port Injection

    I appreciate the input from everybody, but haven’t even seen OP make a comment after his initial post. Regardless I seem to be more interested than he may have been. I also clarified from the beginning that I had zero knowledge on the topic and that I was inquiring in hopes people who...

    JXB rear differential bushing inserts and carrier bearing support upgrades IN STOCK now @whoosh motorsports

    I’ve never heard of a rear differential referred to in that manner. That’s what you’re saying right? Lol. Learnt something new.

    Spc camber bolts. Any good?

    First I’m hearing that as an option. To be fair, they didn’t try to sell me parts. They explained how there wasn’t an adjustment option on the struts/control arms and that their alignment database for the Explorer ST does not give an option for camber adjustment. I’ve been in for multiple...

    Spc camber bolts. Any good?

    Mine sits at -1.4 on front driver side and -.7 on front passenger side with Steeda springs. They claim camber is not adjustable on the front. So I had to buy these bolts. I wish mine sat around -.8 on both sides… that’d be perfect, wouldn’t have had to buy the bolts.. All my suspension is in...

    Clunking when engaging gears

    Noise existed before JXB pieces. Was hoping adding parts would solve or identify the issue.

    Improving tire ride

    You think you can go up 2 whole aspect sizes? You can for sure run a 275/55r20, I’m doing that right now, you won’t manage anything bigger than that. Maybe a 275/50r21 would work for you.

    Softening the ride on an ST?

    I guess the new CRVs are a harsher ride than the ‘17s… or your ‘23 ST is built different than my ‘21. My ‘21 had very little dampening before I added any aftermarket parts or upgrades to it. Or maybe your wife’s CRV has larger wheels on it than the one I’ve driven, which gives it less cushion...

    Metallic gray replaced by carbonized gray

    The metallic gray looks so much better, I have the carbonized gray.

    Softening the ride on an ST?

    My dad’s CRV is way smoother on pavement and around town than my ST, what are you smokin. And that was before I upgraded the entire suspension. The CRV is obviously a small crossover tuned for comfort whereas the ST is simply not. I had to drop rim size and increase tire height to make it...

    Clunking when engaging gears

    I’ve seen this video. Is there any actual safety concern with this? Or is it just an annoyance? Because if all it is is just an annoying sound then that seems par for the course on this platform. You just have to learn to accept it, because most of us don’t have the time and money it takes to...
