XRSEXT Member 235 Member For: 12y 9m 12d Gender: Male Posted 11/02/15 01:58 AM Share Posted 11/02/15 01:58 AM (edited) Hey guys,Finally got around to fitting my 1400Hp CV's and hub kits, Eaton Truetrac, Nolathane Side bushes and Dual Diff Bush Hat Upgrade Kit.Rear end is so refined now, its completely transformed the car and no increase in NVH, its actually quieter now. Enjoy.. Edited 11/02/15 01:59 AM by XRSEXT 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90068-rear-end-upgrade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR_NITRO_FG Donating Members 3,214 Member For: 11y 11m 14d Gender: Male Location: NOR Perth Posted 11/02/15 04:50 AM Share Posted 11/02/15 04:50 AM awesome! would the standard single front bush nolathane style fit into the twin holders? I'm sh*t at explaining....but just wondering whether the two bushes that replace the one bush.....whether those 2 bushes are slightly smaller in size than the single. Does that make sense lol Cause I assume those 2 bushes are the ones supplied in the kit?

XRSEXT Member 235 Member For: 12y 9m 12d Gender: Male Posted 15/02/15 10:06 PM Author Share Posted 15/02/15 10:06 PM Have driven the car all weekend and everything seems to be settled in very well.. No dramas at all and the rear end really holds down well now, instead of ending up sideways in first and second when launching it, car seems to just hold the rear straight now and progresses to the next gear. A major improvement on traction and no more broken diff bush ever again. Anybody thinking of doing these mods, its well worth it 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90068-rear-end-upgrade/#findComment-1530412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
