Brand new super hard diff bush = more stress on the cradle and likely to crackWorn out stock diff bush = Bolt is more likely to snap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume the rear end would be much different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaf springs alllllllll the way, no cradle, no diff bushJust remember indicator fluid. Edited 25/11/12 02:24 PM by old_mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it appears identical to my missus 2011 FG1 cradle. When were the new cradles meant to have been updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwannaturbo Member 32 Member For: 15y 7m 7d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/13 07:46 AM Share Posted 05/01/13 07:46 AM Just slid under my 09 G6E Turbo with 54,000k's on the clock and all good. 3 diff bushes are fine too, although there seems to be alot of fresh copper coloured grease around the bushes and there are signs of the cradle being out at some stage. Looks like Ford must have changed the bushes before I bought the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
