So far loving it and drive it every where we can.My question is what's the best way to check the diff bushes before the 3 month dealer warranty expires?Also with that amount of km's done should I look at replacing the heat exchanger to prevent the dreaded milk shake from happening?This is my first turbo ford after a long string of LSxx Series vehicles and so far very impressed :newrussian: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen but im guessing the bushes would have a crack/split somewhere within the bushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive it like you stole it and they'll be gone in no time. With those kms you could argue that they're f*cked anyway/ At 80,000 mine were pretty well shot and it was an ex company car. Definitely go superpro comforts, makes such a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy an aftermarket trans cooler that mounts to the from of your car. The kits are on eBay and are certainly cheaper than a new transmission. I've got one on my g6et and haven't had a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory ford bushes were completely disintegrated, makes the ride so much smoother with the super pros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
