Just looked it up and I need to figure out my Subframe Part Number. It says to call Ford for the number. I did a search for a 2020 ST and it came up with a number ending in F which of course it says "Does Not Fit".

You're looking at the wrong place. F is for the 2.3L. J is for all 3.0L Explorers. G is the 3.3L Hybrid or Aviator. There's not a different kit for the different part numbers. Just plug in J (that's what mine said from the VIN) and order it up.

If you don't know if you have a "1 bolt" or a "two bolt", touch grass.

Go outside, get on the ground behind the vehicle, look forward, and directly in the middle is a big black subframe between the exhaust pipes.
You will see one bolt, or you will see two.
(There are picks all over this thread, the diff stiffener product websites, etc.)

There is no reason to look up your vehicle, or postulate on this forum - it takes 3 seconds.
I did it at the dealer parking lot before I signed my papers. (I have 1 bolt and will buy an augment)

No one is asking whether they have 1 bolt or 2 bolts. The Steeda Subframe Bushing Inserts (yes I changed the subject of this thread) fit 2 of the 4 subframes in the Explorers, and you should confirm the subframe part number your car was built with before ordering.

Thank you for the additional information that corrects my ill-informed post.
"The More You Know", ehh?

I did look. That’s how I know I have the 2/4 bolt. Posted that several posts back bud.

Thank you for the info! I was at the Ford parts site. Not sure why it came up with the number ending in F. It did say 3.0 in the description. I’ll just go with J and order them. Thanks again!
