I know this is a common problem as my BA went through two of them. Is there a tougher aftermarket bush anyone can recommend as I know it is a pretty time consuming job to do and Im not too keen on paying Ford to do it over and over again...Cheers-Josh Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75681-fg-diff-bush-replacement/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they try and charge you more than $100 for the bush let me know and I'll send one up for you in an airbag Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75681-fg-diff-bush-replacement/#findComment-1120530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
