That would be the ultimate comparison IMO. Would make the decision on how to address the one bolt a simple one. Three bolt, four bolt, three bolt with diffy stiffy and the new one. My guess is this new one would show less movement than the diffy stiffy and possible the same as the 4 bolt. Purely my speculation.

here's the only video available at the moment
please note the $249 w/FREE SHIPPING price ends on May 10th when the mounts ship. We've sold so many of these it's truly incredible - grab one now before the price jump + shipping cost is added

Awesome, thanks.
Maybe put out a short vid that has your tech walking through the job.
Well, it's two cover bolts, better than nothing.
And if no drilling is involved, you could always take it off before heading to the dealer
if you have any related problems.

I am going this route. Who knows maybe this alternative will prove stronger than the 4 bolt standard. I hate dealing with moron dealer service reps as they generally have absolutely no clue. Funny I replaced my oil lines in my Lotus 12 years ago before the recall that was issued. Guess what? Lotus USA paid for all the parts that I installed as they determined the new lines exceeded the specs for their replacement lines. Hello Ford? As this is fully removable without a trace then even if it breaks they have no real proof. I have modified many cars in my time and find that the aftermarket solves many issues the factory is not willing to address. My $0.02

as mentioned we have a few that have been on test vehicles , one of which is tracked nearly every weekend that runs 11's
it's being put through the paces and has proven to hold up as intended
I can't comment much about the Ford recall and frankly it doesn't matter, this rear diff support can be used on any Explorer ST rear subframe regardless of how many bolts it has or the build date

If you look at the bolt receiver castings the stress molds are lateral not vertical. This doesn't support the "z" loads up and down.. This mount supports both x and z. The forces. once the bolts are secured acts on the whole assembly. Just like the after market rear motor mounts on the Focus ST/RS. They distribute the force throughout the entire bell housing using existing bolts. Whatever still better than arguing with a service manager.
