Massive Strut Tower Brace Installed on Lobo

[shadow_munk]

I feel less understeer. Granted, I don’t have enough miles (before & after) to completely rule out a placebo effect.

My placebo sense also indicates a CAD/CAM simulation of flex on the Maverick’s Unibody before & after strut brace would show less flex.

I felt the same with my truck. Even if it didn't do anything I feel way more confident taking a corner now, also it looks amazing.

Maybe it's a placebo but I definitely feel it

CAD/CAM simulation of unibody flex on strut towers before & after would prove it - but lacking that listen to your placebo

I also feel tighter cornering with mine. 3 Placebos makes a trend?

It does in my book

I like the "look" but I have 1 OCD question - why do they not center the logo on the brace?

Shame the metal flake in the blue will never see the light of day!

He says, posting a picture of it literally seeing the light of day.

I centered it in the picture for you
BTW, another OCD question is what are those 2 nubs on the cowl above the “M” supposed to do?

Easier to move it over to one side a tad than measuring to center it exactly?

Kinda looks like it's centered on the engine at least

Yep, Agree, though still seems a little odd with my old eyes. Nit picky visual on my part, I'm sure they have their reasons, nothing wrong with that.

I believe the high voltage wiring harness is clipped to those nubs in the Hybrid.

I'm having trouble finding a rear sway bar for my 2022 EcoBoost FWD model.

There's no way to mount a rear sway bar to the twist-beam suspension that the FWD Maverick has. The twist-beam itself acts as the sway bar in that suspension design, so there's no way to "tune" it as you can with a fully independent suspension like the AWD Maverick has.

 

[Mosin]

Yes, I was afraid of that, as everywhere I have searched has indicated AWD only. Thanks

Ordered my massive front strut tower bar. I am hoping to maybe get more immediate steering response from the rigidity. An improvement would be nice. That blue bar looks great. In my opnion, the massive bar has more proper reinforcements for corner loads than the other bar. At the cost of weight I assume.
