[Raym80]

Description make sense, but has anyone tried them yet?

They’re brand new. Nobody has received them yet.

I put these on my 2017 Mustang GT with performance pack and it made a world of difference. It eliminated the wheel hop I was getting on launches at the drag strip. Plus the car felt more planted, less body roll on corners. Well worth the money IMHO. I’m hoping this will have very similar results on the ST.

I hope so too. My order is going in this week.

Easy install, about 45 minutes. Watching the Steeda video is all you need. Car feels more stable, connected. Would definitely recommend after all the usual mods have been done. Not a lifechanging difference but for many, will add to driving enjoyment.

Yeah, this one seems like a no-brainer. Do you have the 1 or 2 bolt set up and may I ask which part # you ordered?

 

[GearHead_1]

Just thought about my question. 1 or 2 bolt sub-frame may not be the qualifier on the different part numbers at all.

I have a MY2020 2-bolt. Not sure if it's foolproof but i did a parts search on Levittown Ford parts site (where i normally get my stuff) using my VIN# and there was only one rear subframe listed. So that's the one I selected (MB5Z-5035-J)

Thanks, I've been going to do it but have been lazy. I'll get it here.

 

[GearHead_1]

Interestingly, using my VIN it lists both part numbers ((MB5Z-5035-J), (MB5Z-5035-G) for the 1 and 2 bolt sub-frames, and as expected says both will fit. I'll have to get ahold of my dealer to get an as-built number.

Just a heads up: Labor day sale at Steeda is live. Subframe bushing support kit is now $257 (was $280 2 weeks ago).

Just ordered these with that nice Labor Day pricing. Yes I'm stock power wise for now, but these seem like a no brainer at any power level. That subframe movement in the video is ridiculous.

2020 here, VIN check says I have the 5035-J subframe.

Did you contact the dealer to get your subframe part number?

These might help:

If the one bolt subframe was intended for the 2.3L, Im inclined to believe that this kit will not fit those STs. The 2.3L Explorers had subframe ending in "F" which Steeda says won't work.

Its a little tricky for one bolters because as we all know, the model was spec'd for the two bolt but the actual build sheet had the one bolt subframe.

I bought a -E when I replaced my 1-bolt with a 2-bolt last year. Got an email into Steeda about figment but I’m guessing if -F doesn’t fit then a -E won’t either but we’ll see.

Went to a Ford Parts website, put in my VIN, and that's the cross member that came up.

 

[Cruising68]

Looks like E is super ceded by G. I’m going to give them a try hoping they fit an E

When I search the Ford parts website with my VIN this is what I see.
My 2021 Platinum was built on Sept, 9, 2021

I think if you have a 2 bolt subframe, that method is A-OK. The problem is when you have one and that parts lookup is maybe listing the 2 bolt that you should have gotten instead of what's on your build sheet. If you look up a 2.3L 1 bolt subframe from MY2020, MB5Z-5035-F is listed--this kit will not fit those apparently.

This is Steeda's response when I asked about their kit and if there was a difference in which kit they send based on the part numbers (5035-J &5035-G): Mainly dimension or fitment between the "J" or "G" selection. Depending on the search I would get both subframe numbers. For reference My ST was built in 01/20 and has the 4-bolt subframe. Their response is below:

Good morning,

We only have the one bushing support kit for the Explorer.

https://www.steeda.com/steeda-555-4462-explorer-subframe-bushing-support-kit

We do not know the difference between the Ford part numbers. We have sold quite a few kits and so far we have not received any reports of fitment issues.

If you have additional questions, please let us know.

Thank you for choosing Steeda!
