Rear differential brace Steeda, Livernois, ID speed

[enphor]

Seems folks shit on the Steeda , but I have it along with the JXB insert and whoosh bolt on my one bolt and works great. Steeda has changed the mounting bolts to the subframe bracket so maybe that helps with the earlier reports of those bolts snapping on hard launches?

Sometimes I can detect a slight gear hum sound from the rear off the gas and slowing down at a certain gear/speed. Not 100% sure it is the brace or bushing or neither as I haven't removed them to find out. Doesn't bother me.

I'm on my 3rd rear diff and 2nd driveshaft and the dealer can't find this noise. Mine's at 45 mph and 58-62 mph, accel and decel, but louder at decel. Throwing a carrier bearing at it, don't know what else to try. AWR brace on mine is almost like a stethoscope to an underlying issue. I did some research on the FB group and this is an issue with all braces for a very small number of people. My '22 was dead quiet, in the '23 I can't cover the noise with the radio.

Upgraded with the JXB carrier bearing today. Noise didn't get any better or worse. I can definitely feel the driveshaft now, though. I'd imagine that's expected and doesn't bother me much.
