Shattered, Repair Bill?

My understanding is rear ends are the same over models, only difference being the diffs themselves?

Also airbags would have been deployed because the SRS module would have sensed a decrease in lateral G's so thought it was getting a hit from the side... which it was, just from the gutter

^^^^^^^^^^^^ smart cookie

the ol lateral g chestnut

didnt think the fords were smart enough to deploy air bags when it sensed a "possible" impact.

pretty sure that's only on fancy shmacy mercs n shiz.

[wombatG6ET]

It didn't sense a possible impact, it sensed a big impact of car hitting gutter and air bag deployed

The srs module picked up a side impact , it just can't determine if its sliding into gutter or another car impacting the side

[bossmang]

what I was trying to get at ^

the sensor in the door was triggered when you hit the pole,. hence the air bag. not because you hit a gutter. lol

the deal with the fg xr6 rear cradle is a no go, the guy selling it called around and found out that fg xr6 and fg xr6 turbo's axles are different. He called his brother and was able to source a g6e turbo's complete rear cradle , wants $600 for it or $1000 including labour to fit, drop out my current damaged cradle and fit the g6e turbos cradle with my existing LSD still in place.

I assume g6e turbos suspension isnt the same as xr6 turbos? should I go ahead with the deal?

managed to grab:

airbag $100

srs module $200

roofliner $80

said once installed(even showed me how), come back and he will clear any codes for free(Ford wanted $150)

g6e has a single spinner bra

[sct911]

ye but he will swap it out and use my current LSD

[ms700]

If it will fit, yeah I'd consider it.....

[turbotrana]

Go for it
