Im thinking its just Diff Bushers.Do these need replacing after a certain amount of KM's?If the need to be replaced what are the symptoms?Cheers,Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harasn Used to work at the Ford Proving Ground!

There are 3 bushes that hold the centre in place. One at the back and one on each side. Unfortunately, they wear and split quiet often, even in a territory or something like that, so tend to go more often on the high power and possible harder driven cars. Manuals make the issue worse as there is the loading and unloading all the time on gear changes. It is a time consuming job and not to be done at home. Best left to the dealerships!Hope this helps!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

The service manager who has a F6 told me his gets done every service.His is a manual. Mine went after 10,000km and I drove with the problem for 20,000km. Makes the rear feel wobbly.I had done the right and the rear bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
