Apparently the FG 2 diff cradle is designed slighty diffrent for added strength in this spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did it 8 days ago they probably undid the main bolt, took the cracked housing off and replaced with new bush and charged for a whole craddle removal.I really find it hard to believe that a majority of that was done in 8 days. If it was then you gotta look at your driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it was all that damage was done in 8 days too but when I asked the question if there was anything else wrong, you'd think they would have said something. all they told me is that it needed rear shockers.

The thread on the back has completely broken off. Not on the bolt, but on the cradle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
