(let's ignore diff bushings for the purpose of this question, as they would get done too, or may have been upgraded by previous owner)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EATON-TRUE-TRAC-M86-BA-BF-FG-FORD-FALCON-XR6-TURBO-DETROIT-TRUTRAC-DIFF-LSD-/200912172575 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommo224 Member 40 Member For: 8y 11m 13d Posted 22/05/15 01:41 AM Author Share Posted 22/05/15 01:41 AM just an FYI, all 6 speed auto diff's are identical - 2.73 ratio LSD (except G6 models, some are not LSD). You don't need to go out of your way to source a FPV specific diff replacement.That's great, thank you for that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommo224 Member 40 Member For: 8y 11m 13d Posted 29/05/15 07:26 AM Author Share Posted 29/05/15 07:26 AM I ended up purchasing a M86 TrueTrack today, and booked in to CMS to get the rear diff bushings and diff swapped out Turns out the horrible noises and whining I was getting, was actually from the front wheel bearings! Took lots of me trying to work out where it was coming from, however, only a couple of minutes from someone who knows what to look for to figure out =PI should have gone to a pro to check it out sooner! But it's hard when you work full time and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took lots of me trying to work out where it was coming from, however, only a couple of minutes from someone who knows what to look for to figure out =PSounds like you probably had the workshop do the job, but if not:Front bearing hubs are quick and easy to replace.Photo guide: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89016-photo-essay-babf-front-bearing-hub-replacementYou'll need a 36mm socket to undo the nut. I use a torque wrench (because I've got it) but basically just do the nut back up really, really tight.There are aftermarket choices, but they tend to not last very long. Do a search for the Ford part number on eBay (ie AU22B663A) and you'll find them cheap enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommo224 Member 40 Member For: 8y 11m 13d Posted 29/05/15 10:19 PM Author Share Posted 29/05/15 10:19 PM (edited) Thanks Phil! $100 each online, pretty decent actually doesnt look too difficult, I could probably actually have done it myself. I just don't have the confidence :(It is daunting thinking of doing such things myself. Give me a computer and I can design you things, hand me a camera and I'll capture things for you. But hand me a spanner and I will look at you dazed. Haha. My mates are pretty good at these things, and I happily will hand them cash for helping out!Ford did it for me for $360 fitted (both fronts), and did it right away. Solved my problem and allowed me to get back to the office! I could have saved some cash by doing it myself or my mates, but I felt I needed it solved ASAP :( Edited 29/05/15 10:20 PM by tommo224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you are good at and pay some other furker to do what he is good at is my motto. Makes the world go round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate so did you end up getting the diff changed anyway / as well or didn't go through with it? If you did did you notice any benefits? What kinda dollars did it end up costing you?
