Differential Brace for 2025 ST

[72-C10]

I was looking to get a Steeda Differential Brace for my 2025 ST but then read that people had issues after running them for a while. Mainly problems with the rear Differential itself as it seems it might be causing problems with alignment.

I know Ford changed the bolt and maybe something else with the 2025 models. I know they are only 1 bolt but has anyone actually seen and issues with the 1 bolt on the 25 models? Everyone is saying a brace is needed but I can't find any failures with the 25's, only other years.

Well the 25’s haven’t been out long and you can’t tune them so nobody is putting any power on that bolt yet. Once they do…you’ll see the same thing. Nothing changed from older models.
And ID Speed is the best brace on the market.

It most likely isn’t any better than prior years. If you’re launching the car at all, or even mildly drive hard you’ll need a diff brace. The ID-Speed unit is the best one.

I just looked at the ID-Speed and it says it is not available for 2025's? I'm not opposed to adding a Brace if needed, but I have heard of issues after adding a brace and I don't want to potentially cause an issue if they are not really needed on the 25's.

What issues are you talking about? I’ve never seen a rear differential cause problems (other than the mounting bolts snapping on the Steeda unit). They’re definitely needed on the 2025s if you even do the slightest hard driving. The ID-Speed unit will fit, nothing changed for the 2025s rear subframe compared to prior years.
