Overview

Put the power down with this billet aluminum differential brace from Steeda! During testing, Steeda found that the differential bushings were being stretched to their limit with hard launches, so Steeda set out to disperse the load and minimize rear differential movement.

Billet construction. To keep the part lightweight yet ultra-strong, Steeda CNC machines this brace from 6061 billet aluminum at their Valdosta, GA location.

Better performance. With 50% more attachment points than the competition and a dual bushing design, you can be confident this brace will out perform. An optional stiffer durometer bushing set can be added to the kit for those that are looking for maximum performance at the track and do not mind minor NVH.

First-hand note

FFP fits Steeda parts every week in Thousand Oaks.

— Why we stock Steeda

OE-style engineering, in-house manufacturing, race-proven on Steeda's own SCCA program.

Steeda has been engineering Mustang — and now Explorer, Focus, F-150, and Maverick — parts in Valdosta, Georgia since 1988. CNC-machined billet, proprietary CAD-driven suspension geometry, and a factory SCCA Majors road-racing team that runs their own parts on the track every weekend. When you bolt a Steeda part onto your car, it's the same part Steeda's own race cars run.

We carry Steeda because the fitment is right the first time, the warranty is real (lifetime on Steeda-manufactured parts), and the install instructions don't leave you guessing. Drop the car at our Thousand Oaks shop and our techs handle the fit-up — or order with confidence and run it yourself.
