OVERVIEW
The Black Market Race F Chassis Billet Differential Brace is a supplemental brace that ties the rear differential cover directly to the subframe using four of the OEM mounting points and a 1/4" steel bracket. It's inspired by (and shares design characteristics with) Black Market Race's popular G-chassis differential brace.
By reducing differential flex under load, the brace stabilizes the drivetrain, improving traction, throttle response, and reducing wheel hop without replacing the factory mounts.
SPECS
- Billet aluminum bracket paired with a 1/4" steel subframe tie-in
- Adds a solid rear mount to reduce differential cover movement under load
- Improves traction, throttle response, and drivetrain stability
- Bolt-on installation using four OEM differential cover mounting points; does not remove or replace factory mounts
