Nah this is really bad, like undriveable. Really good spot where ford put the wheel well, looks like ill have to drop the rear end just to change the bolt

Mate if the bush isn't rooted you can just holesaw the wheel well from inside the boot, replace the broken bolt and then plug the hole with the correct size bung. I know it sounds a bit rough, but if done right, you'll never notice. Many have done it this way - saves dropping the craddle

The bush will most likely be rooted and he has to get the threaded section of the bolt out of the diff hat. Its cradle out either way.

I did think of cutting a hole, but I need to replace the bush its been a bit clunky for a while now.

That ebay store, are they stock parts?

If you replace the back bush with a poly one, ALSO do the side bushes for the diff in poly.

Introducing a stiffer durometer bush for only the rear position will not load all mounts equally.

Much help would be appreciated

I'd say clunking, but hey, it's a ford, it's supposed to.
