Or I don’t need it because I got a 2-bolt subframe on my 22. Look anywhere around here, not a ton of good reviews on the Steeda bushings.
you just proved my point by saying you don’t need it because you have a 2 bolt subframe … I’m talking about the Differential BRACE - and if you don’t think you need it think again

you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about and the fact you don’t even own a brace screams ignorance
Actually they’re well documented to fall apart when the flange gets hammered on hard acceleration. Steeda sends a different durometer bushing for those now…and they’re still not needed. Nobody needs to lock their diff down solid on their daily driver. Maybe don’t say people are ignorant when you yourself don’t know all the facts pertaining to those parts.

Nobody with a 2, actually 4 bolt, subframe needs a diff brace. Ford gave us all the bolts. JXB inserts and subframe lockout braces are great…but we don’t need a diff brace. Maybe you need to learn these cars better before you continue to chastise people.

Sounds like someone is butt hurt.
Unbroken is very knowledgeable and calling him names does nothing for your credibility.

Well, you were wrong and I gave you some more information…so there’s that. Whatever idiotic rage issues you have where you feel the need to insult everyone is between you and your therapist. Or your wall…whatever, tough guy.
You were still off base. Now you know more than you did earlier today.
And no, I will never stay out of it when someone is being bitchy for no reason.

Ouch showed me again - putting a brace on a weak point helps immensely regardless of whether you can afford it or not.
Two bolt subframe assembly bolts bend and break. One bolt subframe assembles bend and break. Put enough on it and it will bend or break, maybe you have the special Explorer with an indestructible differential, good for you Mr. Knowledgeable. I’m proud of you the way you handle everything and have Bunny’s who back you up you’re my hero, keep up the good work.

Show me who has broke or bent the bolts on their 2-bolt rear subframe.

Funny how you cant point to any evidence and just resort to name calling cause you’re wrong.
