Diff Bush

[destino]

Hi all,

was changing my diff oil the other day and realised that the diff bush already was cracking (standard ford one)

I only replaced it no more that 20,000km ago

Surely it's life span should be longer than that...???

[SPIKO]

That would depend on how you drive my friend..

[destino]

not to stupid I say.

could it have anything to do with a Kazz diff I have?

[destino]

or malwoods option 4 clutch??

[seduced]

sounds about right for a modded car. if you bay it wround everywhere it will last longer, but its full throttle stuff that stretches it.

*baby it around...

What an absolute waste of money that mount was.

I assume there is obviously not many other options other than nolathane or superpro?

[seduced]

At the moment there is not many options, but some are in the pipeline.

The superpro one is a little stiff and will transfer more noise to the cabin. I'm looking at a completely different shock absorber seign that I will come up with myslef, just sourcing some ideas and parts for now... design will be up soon..

Mine had been stuffed for a couple years now! Hasn't affected performance however the car feals a little twitchy through slow sweaping corners. Also with the clutch in when I roll forward makes a clunking noise.

There are actually two Superpro options each, for BA and BF. From the Superpro catalogue:

BA series

Part Number: SPF2654K

Sports/Performance option, possible slight NVH

Part Number: SPF2654-70K

Comfort option

BF series

Part Number: SPF3232K

Sports/Performance option, possible slight NVH

Part Number: SPF3232-70K

Comfort option

I'm told the comfort option is primarily designed to be an OEM replacement (except it'll be durable), whereas the performance part number is firmer than that again, hence the comment about NVH.
