Rim Test Fit

[Bellato]

If you do the camber arms make sure you do the diff bushes at the same time because the diff cradle has to be dropped to install them so kill 2 birds with one stone. Would be looking at about $1k for everything installed

Thanks Bellato you're a champion mate. Is there only the one bush for diff?

Because I saw another diff bush thread and the guy mentioned side diff bushes as well?

The diagram on the superpro website only shows one bush for the diff though

Very good sizes for an FG Falcon and will fit front and back without guard rolling or hitting any suspension components

Here's how they sat on my FG with the stock 245/35R19 Dunlops (stretched rears). You can go a wider tyre in the rear, easily 285/30R19 to fill out the rear guards. The stock Dunlops were still new at the time so I opted to fit those when I got these rims

There is one centre diff bush and 2 side ones. The two model numbers above and the ebay link are for all 3. It is suggested to do all 3 at once because by changing just the middle one you will tear the side ones up sooner because its much harder.

I paid $250 parts plus $380 labour for diff bushes. You would obviously need to supply camber arms which are about another $300 or so. Extra labour would be minimal as its only a matter of 2 bolts from there

Thanks bellato yeah did some research last night and saw Cat600's side bushes on AFF.

How are you finding the comfort series bushes? I'm worried about NVH as the mrs will complain to no end while she's in the car.

Touch wood my stock bushes seem ok so far. I used to get the dreaded diff thud from when I bought the car new around 5k km but it suddenly went away.

I boost it every now and then but don't trash it although I do drive like a maniac if im late for work and the car is a daily.

I got quoted by pedders for diff bushes and rear camber arms supplied and fitted for $1300 which is over $100 lower than city suspension at Penrith but I still think it can be a lot lower.

Which suspension place did you get yours done?

[Bellato]

Yea can be done cheaper than that. I haven't got the camber arms (but I regret not getting them) so not sure an exact quote on the lot. Although the diff bushes were done by a ford dealer with me supplying parts.

Increase NVH is too hard to say because when they were done I have 4sl king springs go in and 20's put on aswell. At the moment I have most of the rear ends bushes replaced with those rims and springs and yea its more rough than standard but that's everything together and it still rides better than my brothers stock xr4 lol. I think you'll get more NVH from stiff lowered springs then you will from the bushes.
