Renton Member 151 Member For: 6y 8m 28d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 04/10/18 11:08 AM Share Posted 04/10/18 11:08 AM So just a thought. If you can jack the car up high enough to start with, what's stopping you from leaving the wheels bolted onto the hubs (or bolt them back on once cradle is lowered down a bit), dropping the cradle down with trolley jack and rolling it from under the car on the wheels with trolley jack under the diff??

You probably can't jack it up and safely support it high enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cm. New Member 23 Member For: 6y 3m 9d Posted 26/11/18 05:02 AM Author Share Posted 26/11/18 05:02 AM (edited) Ok so I have a couple weeks off over the xmas period that I'll use to tackle the job. I'm pretty cheap but I'm looking at what bushes to get and would appreciate any recommendations: My priority is lowest NVH that will last a while and cost the least. From what I can see, my options are: - No-name ebay: ~$100 - Genuine Ford: ~$150 - SuperPro Hybrid: $270 I'm thinking I'll go genuine ford, might last another 100k km at which point I doubt I'll even have the car.

cm. New Member 23 Member For: 6y 3m 9d Posted 04/01/20 08:38 AM Author Share Posted 04/01/20 08:38 AM Just and update for those wondering (likely nobody). I ended up paying ford to do the install for $700, which was cheaper than my local independent. They also found the tailshaft damper had to be replaced as well due to aged rubber (what a surprise). Cost me another ~$400 parts + labour. This car seems to be costing me $1-2k a year to keep on the road....don't know any of my Toyota mates who have these kind of issues.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,093 Member For: 16y 8m 24d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 04/01/20 08:58 AM Share Posted 04/01/20 08:58 AM of course a performance car costs money, especially if it's modded or has been thrashed enough to ensure component failures over time... for a modern performance car like you've got, that's not a huge expenditure to keep it on the road, but it's a little higher than most would spend on a stock one, so maybe you just got a bit unlucky with the purchase etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
