The workshop says they can't get it done till the new year and I should drive granny spec.This is a real bummer because I'm going down to summernats with my mate who's just built up his 383 s/c wb Ute. I was just going to cruise round the track (it's only 10-15kph) and maybe do a few little skids where allowed (on small sh*tty tyres). Just little muck around stuff, mainly going to support my mates Ute.Am I definitely likely to do more damage if I go ahead with it? I've been told some guys drive around 20, 000+ kms with rooted diff bushes.Thanks P.s. diff bush Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83282-diff-bush-can-i-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are both entered but our focus is mainly on his, mine is just for a bit of fun and so we get the same camp grounds.Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83282-diff-bush-can-i-drive/#findComment-1339291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
