Just a FYI.. The Steeda STB for the 2020+ Escape and 2021 Bronco Sport will work for the Mav. I test fit ours last night. Only issues are some routing of the bar around the hoses and sensors on top of the intake tube.


NEW INFO

The brace 100% fits and works. As you can see in the pics, I rerouted the hoses and lowered that ugly apparatus near the intake tube and it looks much cleaner. You can feel the difference in the steering wheel. It just feels tied together tighter.

Strut tower braces that do not triangulate to the firewall of the vehicle add no appreciable stiffness. The fact that the maverick strut towers are basically part of the firewall/cowl renders this bar redundant.

OK cool.. Some people like redundancy.. esp when it comes to chassis stiffening.

Are you planning on adding a rear sway bar to go with the strut brace?

The entire suspension will be reworked, so yes.

My technical side says this is something that is needed if driving is something to be enjoyed and assuming it performs as advertised. Probably not needed for commuting, but for those of us that like sport mode on curving roads, a must. It going on my Christmas list.

If this used more than 1 bolt per side, then it might do something. Single bolts on each side are basically pinned connections and it can rotate at each connection, and there's probably a bit of play at each bolt.
