    Rear End Failure

    Same here, clunking noises from rear end. I took it to the dealership and was told the rear diff was eating itself, 2021 ST with 33,000 miles. They replaced the rear diff and drivers side axle as the boot was torn under warranty.

    To me it felt like play in the rear diff itself, and clunking from the rear diff at low speeds and going to and from drive. Everything was still torqued to spec. I had about 30,000 miles on my 21 when I installed the rear subframe spacers, front pinion bushings and diff brace. I currently...

    That's the same issue I had. Mine has 33,600 miles on it currently. I haven't heard any clunking after the new diff install but i also haven't reinstalled the diff brace

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    I had around 30,000 miles on my '21 when I installed all 3. I still have the subframe spacers and front pinion bushings but haven't reinstalled the rear diff brace yet. I'm going to have the fluid changed after 500 miles, and the diff brace would be in the way. I'm on the fence now about...

    lol Lol, I have them all the time! After I read your post, I called the dealership to tell them I wanted to use the bushings I put in and they said they would reuse them and I'm still covered under warranty

    As far as I know, they aren't going to loosen the subframe. Even so, they are hard to see. That's one thing I'm going to check to make sure everything is still there. Plus I didn't feel like fighting getting the stock front pinion bushings out

    That's the speed I notice it the most. Also my rear diff is being replaced, see my previous post

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    I removed the rear diff stabilizer because I figured that would be blamed for any issue and the subframe spacers can't be seen. The only mod they can see are the front pinion bushings and they never said anything about those, yet

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    Well I got the answer to my above question yesterday. The noise was becoming more frequent and while I was underneath it checking for anything loose, I saw axle grease slung on everything around the drivers side axle due to a torn boot, no idea how that happened. Took it to the dealership, the...

    Just installed the Steeda Rear Diff Brace...

    The launch is more "solid" if that makes sense. I also have the subframe spacers and with all 3 it did make a difference. We have twin ST's btw, love the color

    Just installed the Steeda Rear Diff Brace...

    I tried for an hour to get mine out, couldn't get either one out so I took it to a shop lol

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    Has anyone noticed any added noise after installing the steeda subframe bushings, the front pinion bushings and the rear diff brace? I've noticed more "clunking" at lower speeds unless I've got something else going on. I've already checked the torque on the bolts and that is ok.

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    Lol Lol, you're right there! I wrestled with them on my back in my driveway for over and hour and finally said screw it and took it to a shop.

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    Everything fit great. I had to get the front pinion bushings installed at a shop only because I couldn't get the stock ones out. The subframe spacers were actually the quickest to install. On the rear diff brace before you install the piece that attaches to the subframe, run the set screws...

    Thanks for the reply! I ordered those, the rear diff brace and the new front pinion bushings
