Stop wheel hob

[FuriousST]

Could you advise me on the order of parts I should get to avoid the wheel hob on my 2020 ST.

I'm thinking about this as a first option.
Subframe Bushing Support Kit


but I would like to know your experience which is the best so I don't waste my money

Confused.

I think you must mean wheel hop. If so the Steeda bushing kit is a good start.

Rear sway bar would be good and rear toe links.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Toe links, vertical links and bushing brace kit. Do it all at once.
www.fenfabrication.com or Steeda…both are great parts.

How do get the subframe part number?

 

[UNBROKEN]

FenFab bushing braces for all subframes…I’d bet money so do Steedas.

 

[MikeyP]

The Steeda kit will work for all subframes you'd find under an Explorer ST.

Steeda says that you need to call a ford dealer parts dept with last 8 VIN to determine subframe version.

I was just looking at this yesterday to decide which parts to get.

Thanks very much

For vertical links, you have a couple options, depending on your budget. FenFab makes a very nice billet vertical link set for I believe around $350.

If you want something a bit on the cheaper side, $100 will get you the billet aluminum inserts that bolt into the factory vertical links and stiffen them up considerably. Steeda makes them and they have a very informative demostration video on their website. Not quite as good as the FenFab option but it comes close for less than a third of the price.

I’ve had both. The FenFab are worth the difference. The Delrin bushings make a big difference. Steeda inserts are way easier to install though.

This is what I bought to start

Bushings are definitely a big plus here. I ordered the inserts yesterday. If they work, great. If they don't, super easy to uninstall and sell for $75 shipped then upgrade to the fenfab links.

install Steeda parts

 

[FuriousST]

With these two parts my wheel hob was immediately solved. I recommend it as 1 option for those who have this problem.

note: I should let you know that these parts make the car feel harder on the road. comfort is lost
