Replaced the diff bush with an OEM one and the car felt new again. But for what it is, its an expensive exercise, not all of us can 'do it ourselves' And I was referring to the diff bush, when saying it'll have to be replaced sometime in the future..

Putting the whole lot in with stock suspension seems a bit pointless to me too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just about everything done, full super pro bushes, camber kits front and rear, bilstien shockers, etc, etcDo I regret it? no not at all. im glad to now have the car driving how it should have come from ford. Ford should be ashamed of themselves for putting such serious cost cutting in front of producing a good car. And I still beleive that there should have been a recall on those control arm bushes that fall to bits by the first 50k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was done as seperate jobs you most likely would have paid more. Bilsteins fitted$1100, camber kits fitted $800, diff bushes fitted $800, add some springs and all the other bushes and labour my guess is easily over $3500.

What other family sedan are you going to buy with such a great motor for the same price?What I mean is that the cost cutting has gotten bad enough to really comprimise on making a decent car, now it seems you buiy a brand new car and have to replace the crap that they have fitted because they have cut costs on parts that dont even last the first few services. You buy a car and within the first year you deal with brake shudder, and the steering wheel vibrating your hands until you fix what ford have done from the factory. it was one of the main reasons for me spending the money on the suspesion, I was sick of having brake shudder and a shaking steering wheel with a car that had only done 50k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
