The Z1 Rear Differential Brace provides additional support for the rear differential in your Infiniti Q50 or Q60, preventing drivetrain damage and accelerated wear during spirited driving and improving power delivery.
Your Q's rear differential is mounted to the subframe using a single mounting stud and bushing. The factory bushings are prone to fail, and these issues are exacerbated on modified cars that are driven hard or launched frequently. This leads to excessive drivetrain movement and noise. In more extreme cases we have seen broken differential covers and/or mounting studs. Damage to the differential cover should be considered catastrophic since the cover also serves as the mounting point for the differential carrier and side bearings. If broken, the entire differential must be replaced. The cover cannot be replaced on its own. Additionally, the stock differential bushing is non-serviceable and requires the entire subframe be replaced.
To prevent this failure, we have developed the strongest differential brace yet. By utilizing cast 304 stainless steel, we were able to manufacture a brace without the possibility of failure from welds or joints. The Z1 Differential Brace utilizes pre-existing holes in the bottom of the rear subframe to provide additional support. The additional support reduces strain on the differential bushing, cover, and stud while simultaneously aiding in the reduction of wheel hop and driveline slop.

Installation note: We have received some reports from customers stating that there is some difficulty installing on cars equipped with Fast Intentions exhaust. Upon further investigation, we've found that there is a tight tolerance between the two parts, and care should be taken when installing to ensure there is no interference between the two parts.
