old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 9m 9d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 30/04/13 02:29 PM Share Posted 30/04/13 02:29 PM Cost me less than 400 including the superpro center bush, and 400 when I did the side bushes. Through a ford dealer. Mates rates. Well as good you would get from a dealer anyway. Good ford mechanics who do them all the time should have it done within a couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S I'm in perthf*ck me lol,.........I did it myself, but I like working on cars etc, It was annoying to do but with the right tools and a big hammer you can do it right, removing the cradle with a jack etc by yourself is easy and interesting at the same time....... hardest part was getting the old diff bushs (3) out but that's where a drill, hammer and chisle come in handy, the other bush's were done with a 6 tonn press and the big rose joints were a f*cking *beep* but I got there, they (the big rose joints) would be better to do while everything is still on car...useing a home made tool..anyone want there rear end redone im willing to do it all for aroud $500 provideing you supplie parts haha im in qld maryborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
