The Detroit Speed EXO Brace fixes a notorious failure point on the Fox Body platform. This is the point where the upper links mount to the chassis. The factory torque boxes weaken over time and are known to tear or even rip completely out of the vehicle.
Losing an upper link mount can result in unpredictable handling and is dangerous at any speed. Detroit Speed has developed an effective bolt-on (or weld-in) solution that improves the rigidity of the torque box, prevents damage to the chassis, and improves the safety of the vehicle.
It ties the link pockets into the frame and floor pan on both sides and connects the two boxes side-to-side with a telescoping feature. The Detroit Speed EXO Brace kit is a highly recommended addition to any Fox Body Mustang - especially those that are driven hard with higher horsepower.
