You will find one of the rear diff bushings doesn’t match the Steeda inserts. This is what the bushings look like. Don’t remember which side was different.The bag is just an install kit for the pipes. Has bolts and instructions. One box is the rear diff mounting bushings
Thank you for the heads up!!You will find one of the rear diff bushings doesn’t match the Steeda inserts. This is what the bushings look like. Don’t remember which side was different.
I used a knife to slice out the slot in the red insert to make it fit. Don’t have a pix of that.
There is a good video out there somewhere that shows how much the rear subframe moves. The diff is mounted in rubber to the subframe and the subframe is mounted in rubber to the frame — with an oversized hole to boot. The Steeda parts help “lockout” all that rubber and fill that mounting hole to keep everything in place. Prevents wheel hop.
I’ve done two of these installs on 2018 5.0s. I imagine it’s the same install. Be aware not to strip the sub frame bolts. Use a prybar to make sure they are perfectly aligned and you can start them by hand. If not they are easy to strip. My install went fine but I had to use a prybar to get one of the bolts perfectly aligned. When I did my buddies car, I was working on one side and he stripped one of the bolts he was trying to put in on the side he was working on.
From what I can tell, my ‘16 GT350 and the ‘20 GT500 IRS’s are identical except for the vertical links. All the mounts, bushings, etc., appear to be the same.
I did all the Steeda installs noted on both cars. So my comment about the GT500 being more planted is after the installs.
well - I’m gonna do jacking rails just to make life simpler but not touching anything else until I get some track time and can evaluate the car under my @$$. With all of 46 miles on it - don’t really need to change anything for the sake of just changing things - know what I mean.
I track my base GT500. I don’t see the need for the stop the hop kit. Might it help, possibly. The car performs great on the track stock. Drag strip, I do get some wheel hop depending on conditions and launch. I’ve run a 10.81 completely stock except for lowering rear tire PSI to 18.
I don’t see any wheel hop on HPDE’s either. But the rear feels more controlled accelerating off the corners. Can really get the power down confidently.
