Solve Tramlining & Increase Steering Response On Your S550/GT350!

- The #GT350 is one of the best daily driver Mustang's out there, but its wide front tires can introduce problems with #Tramlining. Rough or uneven roads can cause your #Mustang to essentially drive itself, darting towards either side of the road and making the driving experience less enjoyable.
Since Elon Musk hasn't developed a self-driving GT350, Steeda engineered our 2-Point G-Trac Brace to help solve this tramlining! In this video, Chris tests the G-Trac Brace on the street before and after installation to give you a better video of what our Steeda S550 Mustang Ultralite Point G-Trac Brace has to offer!

That gt350 is awesome!
I installed one this weekend ,makes HUGE difference,well worth time and money
Always use Steeda Braces on my Mustangs. Jacking Rails, Torque Box Braces, and G-Trac Brace.
I run 285s up front on a 2015 GT and installed the 2-point G-trac brace a year or so ago. It did away with the front-end "wandering" on certain roads. Great mod IMO.
So this is a common issue on the s550 mustang I thought just my car!, now it makes sense thanks!!
Installed this on my 19 R and made a major difference. Not gone completely, but worth it. Doesn’t happen as much now and when it does it takes less input to correct direction. Great add to my car. See the 24 is adding something similar for the handing package. Hmmm
I just have a regular GT with the black appearance 8.5" wheels & 255mm tires. I experience pretty significant tramlining due to my fairly aggressive alignment. I'll have to check into this.
I’ve been dealing with this “issue” since owning my GT350. The brace did not seem to help at all. HOWEVER... I went from Cup 2’s to the pilot super sports: tramlining gone 100%. It’s the tires, that’s it.
I have Pilot super sports on right now and live in Boston, and the tram stuff is so bad, it’s almost making trade this car away. Going to give this bracket a shot see what happens
I have a 16 350 and tram lining is awful on old roads. Came from factory with super sports.
I have a pp1 GT and have experienced this issue most, and it exaggerates more on sport steering, definitely need to look into this
Let us know if we can be of any assistance! -Chris
I am in South Louisiana and the roads here are terrible. I have terrible tramlining on my 17 GT350. I had a 15 GT PP1 that I installed the Steeda G Trac K Member on and it worked great. I was running 295s up front on it as well. I will be ordering this for both mine and my wife's 350s! You need an un-resonated x-pipe for your car. You will love it!
Happy to hear! And stay tuned, we have plans :) -Chris
Glad I ran into this. I got my GT 350 lasty month and on the drive home the roads in PA scared the heck outa me with this issue. The car was really pulling all over the place due to the terrible roads. Will look into getting one to help solve the issue.
Did it?
@@VerdeBoy13 Yes it did along with ditching the stock Micheline tires. Installed this and changed to Pirelli P Zero tires.
Good to know very interesting thank you
Something I’ll have to look into. I do experience the tramlining in my GT.
Just ordered mine for my GT350
I definitely have that tramlining issue in my GT350.
Now you know how to help keep that car running in a straight line! -Chris
angle is hard to tell, but when you do an oil change, with how the oil explodes out when draining, does it hit or pour all over the 2 pt brace?
Whats the difference between bump steer and tramlining? I feel my s550 pull on country roads like the video describes but my old daily Dakota completely darts when I hit a bump. Is that bump steer? Are they different?
I don't feel so much in the front but in IRS I do
I have this on my Pick uP with 285 tires. I Probably wont have that mod you are showing but i can stiffen uP my susPension... would that help plus lowering tire Psi?
Nice ride, I have the exact same paint scheme on my 350. Not bad for only around 100bucks
Thanks, you have good taste! Great bang-for-the-buck mod! -Chris
I’ve had the 4 point G-Track brace on my ‘15 GT for a few years but, I still get tramlining. Can’t really say if it lessened the affect at all as I don’t remember if it was worse before install. I think it’s just the crappy Pirelli tires.
Can you make for a 2018 Sonata? : )
I do have this issue running 285 all corners on 19x10 wheels... Just cannot decide on 4 point or 2 point brace... 2017 GT
You really can't go wrong with either! -Chris
can i do this to my mini cooper s r56 2007 ?
I guess dropping down to a 255 tire up front wouldn't help? 2019 Gt350 ford perf. Blue 2019.
Yes I have a 2018 Chevy Camaro. My car does this all the time
These fixes should work regardless of car. Hope this helped!
I like the tramlining sensation. Makes me feel like I'm in a race car.
can I return it I don't feel a improvement?
Ok, so I have the extreme g trac brace (4 point) so my understanding is that I may have to switch to the 2 point when I do the headers (kooks)?
Potentially! I'll put it this way... if the 4-Point doesn't clear your headers when you're installing them, go ahead and pull it off and pick up a 2-Point to clear it! -Chris
My 17 GT350 had this concern when I first purchased. I did want to damage my stock wheels and tires so I purchased a set of wheels and copper tires. These tires all but eliminated the concern. Tire are good for everyday driving, but for spirited or track day driving the Michelin are the way to go. I think I will order the two point for future use. Good video thanks!
So I was having this problem when I had my widebody scatpack challenger. When my stock tires went bald I replaced them with continental extreme contact and got an alignment and it fixed the issue. I since traded it in for a gt350 and having the same problem. Won’t getting different tires and an alignment fix the issue again instead of putting on this brace?
It was probably the alignment that fixed your issue initially. We'd recommend having a shop check your current alignment and if everything seems to be in spec, then you would look towards picking this up to help with tramlining. It's certainly cheaper than a whole new set of tires.
Dang hit the send button before I could remove the last 2019. Oh well guess everyone knows I have a 2019. Lol
excuse me for my ignorance but, why a brace like this solves the tramlining? does it mean the tramlining was because of chasis member flex or what? thx
It adds additional support and rigidity to the front k-member. Any time you can connect two points from one side to the other, you're adding side-to-side rigidity. Add this, in combination with using comfort steering feel, and it should help tramlining substantially. It did for me! Hope this helps. -Chris
@@steedaautosports understood, thx!! 👍
2 or 4 point? safe to assume the 4 point makes the front end more rigid then 2?
Depends on your preference. The 2-Point will clear headers/multiple transmissions and tucks in a bit higher than the 4-point does. -Chris
I had the 4 point on my 15 GT with PP1. I ran a 295 up front. It was a bit more rigid, but not unbearable at all. The handling was substantially better after I installed it. Just don't run over any road kill. It sits a little lower. 🤣🤣
Tram lining is so bad in my pp1 gt fat paint lines pull and push me around. I’m not exaggerating. I’m sure everyone with the same car knows all about it haha.
Will it fit 2020-2021 GT500?
The one in the video will not, but this one will! -Chris

So this is like a sway bar?
Not quite. A sway bar is intended to reduce or control body roll of the vehicle. This G-Trac Brace adds to more points of connection in the front subframe to help reduce flex and add rigidity. Think of it as a strut tower brace for the bottom of your front subframe. Hope this helps! -Chris
Wouldn't a simple normal alignment fix the issue
Not necessarily with those wider front tires. And you'd lose some of the performance benefits that come with the car. -Chris
@@steedaautosports Will this work with twin turbo under with LT Headers? From my understanding the front tires are positioned like this / \ and its that way because like you said performance. But thats basically for track situations. It also causes wear on the inner area of tires... Reasons why some get it aligned for daily street use
