Differentialverstärkungssatz X-5 NA/NB

Product information "Differentialverstärkungssatz X-5 NA/NB"

The differentials in Mazda MX-5 models from 1994–2005 feature factory cut-outs designed as failure points in case of a rear-end collision. In motorsport use or in cars with increased power, however, these cut-outs often lead to differential housing failure.

The SkidNation Differential Brace Kit fits tightly into the existing casting cavity and significantly strengthens the differential arm. This makes your diff much more stable and resistant – whether on the street or in competition.

Benefits

  • Increased strength of the differential arm
  • Bolt-in installation possible – simply bolt it on, no welding required
  • Optional welding for maximum reinforcement – recommended for best results (use 5356 filler rod)
  • Precisely manufactured for the large diff housing version from 1994 onwards

Installation Notes

  • Differential must be removed for installation
  • For bolt-in installation, 4 holes must be drilled into the differential
  • For welding installation: remove the rear aluminum case before welding, then reassemble afterwards
  • Bolt holes are pre-drilled but not through-drilled – drilling through is only required for bolt-in installation
  • For welding, drill a small vent hole to allow hot gases to escape during the process

Compatibility

  • Mazda MX-5 NA/NB/NBFL (1994–2005) with large differential housing
  • Also fits earlier NA (Mk1) models if upgraded with a 1994+ differential

Conclusion: The SkidNation Differential Brace Kit is the ideal solution to reliably reinforce your MX-5 differential for higher loads in motorsport or when running increased engine power.
