Let’s make a delrin set….;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Steeda pinion bushings uninstalled. JXB insert and stock pinion bushings reinstalled. Slight decrease in NVH. This is the best it’s been with a brace so far. I’m currently at the point where I’m leaving it until it gets worse.

Based on my experience, I would forgo the Steeda diff pinion bushings and install everything else.

Installed the cPE Differential Brace in place of the AWR. Much happier with the NVH. We are getting there. I'm going to remove the Steeda Pinion Bushings this week. I have not reinstalled the JXB Diff Bushing yet.

There is no part to buy and try. This is about someone making one custom for the explorer.

You will be doing an e50 tune for me in the new year. Great results Sir.

S604D is for a RWD model. There are 3.0 RWD cars out there.

Ordered a CPE diff brace today. Hoping that lessens the NVH for the time being as well. The AWR is up for sale on the FB group.

I’m going to pull my Steeda front diff bushings and reinstall the factory ones. Also looking to go from an AWR brace to the ID Speed brace to help with the noise I have.

It’s very mild now with just the Steeda pinion bushings. I still suspect that the pinion or carrier bearings are the culprit. Seems there are plenty of folks with braces and no additional NVH.

Just as expected the dealer said they cannot replicate the symptoms. They did say we have never seen bolts like you have before….I told them that was because I wanted to hopefully fix the bent one I removed for good. All in they recommend installing Ford pinion bushings and new ford bolts. I...

If you’re serious about keeping the powertrain warranty you should only do suspension, exhaust for sound, and brakes. If you want to maintain some sort of powertrain warranty and add “some” power, have your dealer install the Ford Performance Tune. You can also run a proper tune from one of...

Fuel system is under 4k from nostrum to run e85.

Removing the AWR and JXB this weekend and dropping it off at the dealer for a look at the rear end. I’ll update when they have decided what they will do. I also returned to stock tune.

Ok I got the pinion bolts swapped out with the Whoosh 12.9 bolts. I chased both threads in the subframe multiple times and used ARP thread lube on the new bolts. Torqued them to 150# and leaving the Steeda Bushings in place. I still have some NVH indicative of pinion or carrier bearing noise. It...

Ahh I misunderstood, I thought they were just “doing” the DS actuator because they were in there. Got it. I hope that does it for you.

I’m not sure how those two things could be causing the issue you described though.

To be honest, Havoline that is not a name you see thrown around often. That stuff looks good on paper.
