Will cost less and be suitable for the application. Bearings are extremely cheap, the removal of the rear cradle and the diff work will cost the most. Get the bushes done while you're there, as the cradle will already be out.

Really need to open it up and see what the issue is because it's only ever so often , the other day it went clunk and said no traction and there was no first gear went to seccond then back down to first and it was there fine again loving life was super curious . , clunks square in the middle of diff when I'm aggressive on the gear changes . And often her thuds when I'm turning right from the back left I think it was , only was thinking truetrack so I can give it sh*t and not feel like ima blow the diff 🤣 , I do heaps and heaps of pulls , Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96912-fg-turbo-diff/page/2/#findComment-1717450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last post tells me you might have stuffed coils, very common to cause trans issues, and you might have a stuffed centre bearing which will also go clunk. Centre bearing will cop it more with stiff diff bushes, will be worth a look.

First time it's ever ever missed a gear like that didn't even make a noise anywhere at the front , clunked In the ass end and 1st was gone , , littarly 5 secconds later when I shifted to seccond then back to first back into full boost was fine , Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96912-fg-turbo-diff/page/2/#findComment-1717453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing coils will mess up the trans and dash lights. Just things to check anyway man 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96912-fg-turbo-diff/page/2/#findComment-1717454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
