If you’re looking to tighten up your Ford Explorer’s handling and give your engine bay a little flair, the aFe CONTROL Front Suspension Strut Brace might just be the upgrade you didn’t know you needed. I’ve had one on my ride for a while now, and let me tell you, it makes a noticeable difference. This thing is built like a tank with its solid, one-piece construction that really cuts down on chassis flex. You’ll feel the difference when you hit those corners—less body roll and a whole lot more confidence in your steering.
The dual-tube truss design is where the magic happens. Unlike those flimsy single flat bars, this brace resists flexing and twisting, so your suspension can do its job without any unwanted interference. It’s made from 100% tubular steel, which means it’s not just tough, but it also looks pretty slick in that Gunmetal Gray Powder Coat. Plus, it comes with a removable orange logo plate, so you can customize your look a bit if that’s your thing.
Installation is a breeze, too. You won’t need to be a master mechanic to get this thing on your Explorer. It’s a direct-fit piece, so you can have it mounted up and ready to roll in no time. And for those of you worried about emissions, this product doesn’t require a CARB EO#, so you can install it without any headaches.
Just to give you the specifics, this strut brace fits the 2020-2022 Ford Explorer models, including the L4 2.3L, V6 3.0L, and V6 3.3L engines. If you’ve got the Explorer ST with the V6 3.0L twin-turbo, you’re in luck—it’s compatible too!
Overall, if you’re serious about improving your ride’s handling and want something that looks good under the hood, the aFe CONTROL Front Suspension Strut Brace is a solid choice. Check out the video below to see it in action!
