DMG also has their own option with a similar modular design btw. I do like the rogue better though.

the AV-3 This simple 3 point brace is a direct OE replacement for the lower rear 3 point chassis V brace. At this age of the car it is likely fatigues and or rusted and this provides a very sturdy round steel construction replacement with removable legs yet still carries a high and tight profile. It comes coated wit

I'm not sure what this brace does. The span is so long between the mounting points???

I do wonder if a brace like this helps at all...

This is effectively a solid diff bushing, bolting the diff cover directly to subframe

I had looked at sealing them with Sikaflex or the like but never got around to it. this is a bit pricey but I would have definitely leaned into something like this when I did my rebuild. Now its mostly done and committed this will just be a pipe dream replacement in the long run haha

Same, just replaced mine with new OE during rear end rebuild, was ~$140 at FCP last April. Aftermarket ones do look blingy, though
