FenFabrication Billet Aluminum Vertical Links (2020-2026 Ford Explorer)
Billet Rear Vertical Links for Improved Traction and Handling
The FenFabrication Billet Aluminum Vertical Links are engineered to correct one of the factory Explorer's biggest weaknesses - flex in the rear suspension. By replacing the weak, stamped steel OEM vertical links, these billet upgrades eliminate unwanted deflection under load, resulting in better traction, quicker launches, and improved overall handling.
Machined from 6061 aircraft-grade billet aluminum, these vertical links are designed to handle aggressive street driving and serious motorsports use. They utilize CNC-machined Delrin bushings, which provide significantly less deflection than factory rubber bushings while avoiding the excessive NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) often associated with harsher suspension components.
Whether your Explorer is a daily-driven performance SUV or a dedicated track, autocross, or drag build, FenFabrication Vertical Links deliver the strength, consistency, and responsiveness needed to put power down more effectively - without compromising comfort.
