What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[JFam]

Yes it is!

Tried for an hour with the subframe portion mounted and no go. I removed it and did the diff first and then the subframe bracket.

Installed the Steeda Vertical Link Supports today. They were a tight fit, needed channel locks to press into place. I double-checked the arrows too. Did not take too long.

Question: What should I notice with these Vertical Link Supports? I like the idea that they strengthen the link, but I am uncertain I can feel any difference.

You will not notice any difference. It is just for strengthening.

Agreed, probably nothing. I find it funny how Steeda is twisting the link to somehow prove it is weak but it doesn't undergo those kinds of forces. Look on any older 2020 ST with a s-ton of miles and the vertical links will be pristine...not a lick of deformation.

Actually quite a few people have snapped those vertical links. I had the Steeda inserts then moved to the FenFab billet links.
