I'm still getting axle wrap on hard acceleration so I'm thinking of going with a stiffer rear spring and Nolathane bushes with the addition of Caltracs or some sort of traction bars. I'll also re bush the front end.Has anyone used Caltracs? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87689-fg-ute-caltracs-traction-bars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since writing the post I've now bought an FG MKII Turbo ute, a manual this time as the Auto gave me the sh*ts with all the headaches I had. I'm thinking of going the Mal Wood Traction bar kit, but RO88IE where did you get the Calvert ones from?
