Differential Brace for 2025 ST

[72-C10]

If I read it correctly, the article you posted indicated that the changes were made to the '22 model year, not for the '25 model year.

As stated in that article:



I am making an assumption here because I don't have a '24 and '25 in front of me to compare but I think your '25 would look like the '24. There were no doubt some running changes in this mess but I can't tell you when things changed across the board from a given build date.

They started with a different bolt and then later a different bushing. Plenty of issues were reported after those changes. In essence, the '25 model year has the changes (re-designed bushing, better bolt) that earlier models received during recall and I assume during the build but had and still had problems. I read this as improvement, but not a redesign or real change.

This thread has weaved back and forth a bit on the discussion between pinion bushings and the differential brace. You specifically asked about the differential brace in your initial post, and my reply was in reference to that. I'm not trying to pick on you here, but I'll restate the same thing I mentioned earlier. This one requires you to read between the lines and come up with a solution that best meets your needs.

Thanks, Yes- I'm looking at the ID-Speed brace but it says it is not available for the 25's yet. Not sure what was changed from 24 to 25 but it seems they had to do something different to the brace to make it work with 25's.

Your 2025 is under powertrain warranty until 5/60. There have been plenty of people with broken struts in the 2025s, yet no reports of diff issues. Putting on a brace at this point is only to make you feel good. Save your $500 for something else. Cheers.

Nothing changed…at all.
Parts mfg’s commonly say that until they get a car in for test fitting. The ID Speed brace will fit 2025 cars…people have already done it.

Yes, I have searched but only found documented proof for ST's prior to 25. I have seen none with the 25's after Ford said they changed the design/components.

I haven’t heard Ford say that, probably because it’s not true. They haven’t fixed it. Reason you’re not seeing as many failures is either because the people who drive these cars the hardest stayed with the older models because they’re tunable, or the people who have upgraded are smart enough to get an diff brace before launching the car.

Nothings changed, people have put this brace on their 2025s. ID-Speed probably just hasn’t updated their site.
