Would that help the breaking of bolts? Edited 27/11/13 01:08 AM by old_mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that help the breaking of bolts?It has the malwood upgraded diff hat already. Going to replace the two front bolts with cat spec ones for now. Then in the new year take the whole cradle out send it over to extreme engineering see if Craig can weld on a plate to the diff hat and fit to rubber bush's with mounting bolts. this will eliminate all the stress on one bolt and spread the load. Hopefully the cat spec bolts wont break time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cheaper in the long run going all out first up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
