Brace Yourself for the 2022 Ford Maverick

[@tomhahn5670]

I have viewed your channel for a short time. Nice, thanks, Tom Hahn! Extra, I saw a 7ft-6inch 14year old boy on you tube (Canada)!

[@FriarPop]

Most braces i've seen or used use the 3 strut tower bolts connections on each side, im worried that with the steeda the tension on just one bolt on each side could cause issues or be too much for 1 bolt to handle but im not the smartest if anyone could comment why 1 bolt will be fine. Totally love this channel and love the feeling brace bars give on corners. Im happy if its going to work fine, 1 bolt looks clean and easier to install.

[@adamwang5091]

I am sure 3 will definitely better than 1. But I am also sure it won’t be 3x better the improvement either…. It’s still a truck after all.

[@FriarPop]

@@adamwang5091 I"m sure the improvement on 1-3 is almost nothing just worried about the stress of the whole truck on 1 bolt.

[@aaronpauley2390]

I'm not familiar with this to be honest. can someone explain what exactly is it doing? How much movement is that one bar preventing?

[@adamwang5091]

@@FriarPop unless you doing some serious fast and furious, it should be fine because the one bolt in compression can only generate or transfer equal force to the other one bolt in tension. Not like you have 3 pulling on 1.

[@adamwang5091]

@@aaronpauley2390 imagine 3 sticks in H shape, adding front and rear strut bars to the top and bottom of the H completes the rectangle, it’s now harder to flex or twist than a single H.

Would this fit on a 2023 maverick hybrid?

[@cs92lx]

I don't think so 🤔

[@robinadduru5377]

I bit the bullet and bought one. It does fit you just have to reroute one harness and zip tie it down. 👍🏽

[@12186106]

Got my Brace today Jun 15. It was remove two bolts, then place brace across then replace two bolts with supplied bolts. My Maverick did not have the components you moved at about the 7:00 min. mark. As they say ezypeezy. Thanks for the great instructions though. Others might have the same setup as you.

[@rickford3099]

Nice work, who did you deliver for? I recently retired from UPS

[@cs92lx]

Usps

[@manuelgomez2715]

Thanks

[@jaimerodriguezportela8776]

Can you get me the brand and model or serial number or how to get from any seller on ebay or amazon ?

[@cs92lx]

This was purchased from Steeda www.steeda.com/steeda-555-5736-escape-strut-tower-brace?setCurrencyId=1&sku=555%205736&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA4smsBhAEEiwAO6DEjQ1XjulzJPxiIVED971sdVaWr8AMELSSjyszSqlAqDSQXJSHXgydbRoCKakQAvD_BwE

[@timmatherly5080]

Does adding the strut brace effect the alignment or tire wear?

[@cs92lx]

Not at all!

[@rileydavis1447]

I’m looking at the steeda site and it’s showing me a brace for the bronco sport; that’s got to be the same thing, right?

[@cs92lx]

I believe they're the same but I know for sure it is the same as the Ford Escape brace.

[@sewerman911]

Off topic, but might be of interest. I heard that the underhood insulation for the Bronco Sport will fit the Mavrick hood. Thought that be a good addition for engine noise as the 2.0 is little noisey by nature.

[@cs92lx]

Absolutely a number of people have suggested the same on here.

[@garrycollins3415]

On my list to do.

[@anderander5662]

Does the maverick need a brace??

[@cs92lx]

Not totally necessary but a great improvement.

[@dalenewcomb5192]

Do you plan on doing the steeda rear bar too?

[@cs92lx]

Stay tuned!

[@machsok4581]

Enjoying your videos brother

[@TheAndrewMARGOLIN]

Is it possible to just bend the mounting tab forward vs relocating?

[@cs92lx]

No.

[@billcurry8982]

What does destruct bar brace do

[@cs92lx]

Is the strut tower brace provides better stability in the front end.

[@billcurry8982]

[@bking1295]

Just started watching these videos- YOURE 6’7” and fit in the maverick?!?! Im so excited to get mine now

[@whatsthestory4055]

You are a legend. I’m content with the maverick content

[@klc317]

Thats interesting. Looks clean.

[@klc317]

here's that video of the guy doing a pretty thorough rust proofing DIY if you're interested..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4G2fY2intaaf9k

[@jpear]

What is the purpose?

[@cs92lx]

It stiffens the chassis and it allows the vehicle to corner more sharply and precisely. It Gives a more sturdy feel around corners.

[@oldguy1528]

Can you still access your negative battery terminal ???

[@cs92lx]

Yes

[@jpear]

What is the purpose of this Steeda part?

[@whatsthestory4055]

Handling / performance mod :)

[@Soto2024]

It gives the vehicle more structural rigidity and, therefore, "better handling."

[@carlamaslin7470]

Yeah, I didn't know what it's purpose was. It would be nice to explain prior.

[@williamkerry2626]

Never got a driving reactions part. What’s your thoughts on that?

[@cs92lx]

Tightened up the front end nicely! Feels a bit sharper cornering!

[@williamkerry2626]

@@cs92lx thank you

[@larrywhite8282]

Looks really good on there.

What difference has the brace made?

[@cs92lx]

Have had it on for A-day and I can notice the difference in cornering.

[@angelcruz106]

Awesome job on all that you do. it would be really nice if they came out with an oil Catch can, and you installed it.

[@dfish2677]

Does it block access to anything?

[@cs92lx]

Not really but if necessary it can be removed in about 5 minutes or less.

[@1roblock]

Great video, thanks. Would love more video of the color. Have one ordered. Have not seen any Ford vehicles in person with that color.

[@adamwang5091]

It may sound shallow, but is engine cover a possibility? Pretty up the hood and perhaps reduce some engine noise…

[@oldguy1528]

I think I saw a video where someone got a Bronco Sport engine cover to help with the noise. I would be curious to see if it makes much difference !

[@adamwang5091]

@@oldguy1528 yes, I did too. However, I think that’s the eco boost, not the hybrid.

[@noelking1792]

Sure a escape engine cover might work also,

[@peterwilson1699]

Thanks for the video brother, I just received my brace bar today. It only took almost 2 months, here in Germany working for the GOV things take a bit longer and plan on the install this weekend.

[@wtop1054]

What’s the purpose of that

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Very interesting -- looking forward to hearing what the results are as I am a little skeptical of this one. Cheers

[@cs92lx]

Normally I wouldn't expect this but as soon as I went around the 1st turn I could tell the difference.

[@emanprime3679]

@@cs92lx what felt different ?

[@cs92lx]

[@melvinhunt6976]

Why install this on a maverick?

[@cs92lx]

Adds to the stability and the steering response.. Stay tuned we're about to do some more concerning this.
